If you want to conform to ANSI, just use two dashes (--) or ASCII, the box drawing character, the source of the unicode variant. This is important because it remains the primary font in the core of any EGA and VGA-compatible graphics card (basically all graphics cards).

ASCII doesn't have box drawing characters. ASCII is codepoints 0-127.

I'm talking about the IBM set that is most common in western locals, often called extended ASCII or just ASCII (since IBM PC became the standard)
