Hmm, mutt seems to use ACS (alternative character set) as a fallback option:

```
            else if (Charset_is_utf8)
              addstr("\342\224\224"); /* WACS_LLCORNER */
            else
              addch(ACS_LLCORNER);
```

How relevant that is to us, I don't know, but perhaps something to think about.
