What are "ascii box characters"?

If you plan on posting pictures here with anything but "standard ascii",
think again! People here only like the "must use" characters in this
table:

 ===================================================================

Anything that is not in the "must use" section in the table will cause
long, pointless threads here and possibly some nasty letters in your
mailbox... (the reason is that characters that don't belong to that
particular group will look different on different computers, even in
different programs on the same computer, and in some cases they can have
unpredictable and undesired effects on some computers...)
