I ran your diddle through all of my fixed fonts, and on about 1/4 of
them (Letter Gothic Line, Terminal, Topaz New 2) the lower right dot
in the box came out as a straight vertical line and threw it off. On
the rest of them (Andale Mono, Courier, Courier New, Fixedsys,
Fixedsys TTF, Lucida Console, P0T-NOoDLE, Topaz and Xen) it looked OK.

I replaced the lower dots with the left-facing quote ` (on the same
key as the ~ on my keyboard) and it looked OK (or at least passable)
on all 12. If the ` isn't ASCII, back to the drawing board.
