OriginPro 2021b (64-bit) Beta 5 9.8.5.105
Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Greetings!
I want to create a pseudo graphical output from my LT script and use the special ASCII characters in Output window, for example box-drawing characters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_character):
╔,═,╗.
However, the Code Builder and Output window display ╔ like:
Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you.

[Font]
Output=Consolas
in origin.ini located @ UFF worked perfectly.

this will change only the fonts used in the editor, but you can see all the fonts in your system there.
As for Origin.ini, change the one in your UFF.

OK, got it!
However
[Font]
Output=Terminal
produced incorrect symbols:
What could be a reason for this?
By the way, how do I find the default fonts for Message Log and Output Window?

Can you list all monospaced fonts that may be used by Origin, please?
As for origin.ini: I found one file in Origin installation directory and another --- in the UFF. Which one should I edit?

Also, beta7 allow font for Message Log and Output to be set from origin.ini

Here is what I get in 2021b Beta 7:
What monospaced TrueType font do you recommend using?

Output window still shows this incorrectly:

Dear CP,
Great news!
Where do I get a Beta6 download link?

I agree.
The support would be great!

I was asking if it would be useful to support \u, but from what you tried, seems like it would, as the Code Builder source code file might be ANSI so paste text including Unicode character can be problematic, so \u will allow source code still ANSI but to generate Unicode string.

Currently there is no escape code for unicode character, do you think that is useful? Like to see the code above written instead as
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "\u2554======\u2557";
type "end";

While working in Code Builder I redirect output to Output window of the Code Builder:
type.redirection=32; // Redirect output to Output window
If I call:
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "\u2554======\u2557";
type "end";
then I the following in the Message Log:
Anyway, I think that using box-drawing characters is an old-shool, but cool and useful technique.
Thus, it would be great to have escape codes for Unicode characters.
By the way, if I paste:
type.redirection=1024;
type "begin";
type "╔======╗";
type "end";
to the Code Builder's editor window, then I observe:
