Just FYI, not an answer.

It works like a charm on linux (ubuntu, fc3, python 2.4.1 & 2.5.2)

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, Oct  5 2007, 13:36:32)
[GCC 4.1.3 20070929 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.1.2-16ubuntu2)] on linux2

>>> print u'\u2501'
━
>>> print u'\u2502'
│
>>> print u'\u2503'
┃
>>>
>>> print u'\u2504'
┄
