Uh? It's utf-8


"When you convert the code to UTF-8, for example by using Lazarus' 
source editor popup menu item File Settings / Encoding / UTF-8 and 
clicking on the dialog button "Change file on disk", the ╩ becomes 3 
bytes (#226#149#169), so the literal becomes a string. *The procedures 
write and writeln convert the UTF-8 string to the current console 
codepage*. So your console program now outputs the '╩' on Windows with 
any codepage (i.e. not only CP437) and it even works on Linux and Mac OS X."
