    There's a REALLY good chance that the fix for this is coming in Fall Creator's Update. I fixed a bunch of stuff regarding box drawing characters and mc, I would upgrade and see if that fixes it for you.

    see #2099, #1879 and everything linked to those guys.

    Viktor Ferenczi (@viktor-ferenczi), has this been fixed with the Fall Creators update?

    This seems to have been fixed with Redstone 4, though I haven't extensively tested it.

    Should now be fixed. Let us know if you can repro in 1803 or newer builds.
