s/escape/translation/
I'm saying my expectation for the above code would be to see the line
drawing characters with jsexec in a utf-8 terminal... I would expect to
similarly see line drawing characters in a utf-8 connected client if
console.writeln was used. I might expect to see CP437 line characters
in a terminal that wasn't utf-8.
