Which characters/ligatures/etc. would you like added to Monocraft?

Box-drawing characters arenʼt useful in code very much, but are common on the terminal. Iʼm not sure itʼs even possible to make them without a code change; I donʼt know which parts of the code add a gap between characters or if instead thatʼs something that must be explicitly removed.

Iʼm also not sure which ones make sense to add. I think ideally it would be all of U+2500 to U+257F, but thatʼs a lot, and it might be easy to do programmatically or it might need them all to be manually drawn. Iʼm also not sure if bold would show up well; I expect thereʼs room for making the relevant lines three pixels for bold (or on-off-on for double) but I canʼt be sure without seeing it.
