* Some characters without an immediately visible difference have different portions
emboldened to allow for selective emphasis. Make sure to enable a console friendly
mono-spaced font (like Consolas) for everything to show up correctly

If the table above looks a little dense, here are just the basics

Here are some neat boxes you can draw

The emboldened lines work very well for creating a UI with selectable sections
