How to Insert Box-drawing characters in Sublime Text 3?

#1

Hi all. Noob using Sublime Text 3 here.

I need to write a structure like the following:

├── posts
│   └── helloworld.html
├── .gitignore
├── 404.html
├── about.html
└── index.html

However, I may not find the option to include box-drawing characters, like └── and ├── . So, how may I insert this kind of character?

There’s no built in functionality to draw lines or boxes using the line drawing characters; a plugin could provide such functionality though I’m not aware of any and there doesn’t seem to be anything relevant on package control based on a quick search).

There’s nothing to stop you from typing those characters in (or pasting them in, which is probably easier). Depending on your use case you may want to create some simple snippets or a key binding that inserts specific character sequences.
