Why do people use Unicode characters in the terminal, documentation, etc. and make everything look like shit when ASCII already aligns everything perfectly?

To be fair trying to draw diagrams on a terminal is retarded were not in the 90s anymore

use a better font

That was your own conscious choice to use a terminal that does not force every character to have the same width and does not use a large Unicode monospace font for most of the characters.

Windows Terminal (using Cascadia Mono as its font) does not have this problem at all.

Given the contents of that diagram, I'm surprised they don't generate documentation with Rust-based ASCII-to-vector parser feeding events to Java Spring Boot microservice, generating raw LaTeX source, compiled inside a Kubernetes sidecar, fed into Agfa Apogee Pre-press server inside Windows NT 4.0 VM, generating a 500 MB PDF, served by a WebAssembly function that rasterizes it on a user's device.

Because its the only way LLMs can write diagrams and people will just copy them

Isn't mermaid made for that?
You get both a very small readme.md file and a pretty graph.

You can tell a lot from a README file. If the solution to the Unicode fucktardery is "use another font", you know you're dealing with a moron.

They'll inevitably use glyphs that don't exist in Terminus and whatever fallback it'll have to use, will always look like shit.

It's also a litmus test for tranny code.
