One can use Braille characters to get slightly more negative space and horizontal resolution, at the cost of vertical resolution. (They are 2×4 blocks IIRC.)

If anyone want to see an example of graphing use the braille characters (I think) look at btop https://github.com/aristocratos/btop

Speaking of misaligned characters: an upgrade a few months back in some thing (font, terminal, or renderer) caused the characters to be shifted up or down one pixel so the bottom and top now touch between lines
