Thanks for letting me know!

Your browser might be rendering the Box Drawing characters in a sans-serif font rather than monospaced.
To test, look at the example below. The width of the Is, Ms and As should end at the same spot of it's rendered in a monospace font.

All of those characters look right. It's just the box drawing characters that are screwed up. Browser must be using fallback fonts or something.
Is there any software that makes this easier?

Is it just me or is GitHub completely mangling these characters? I tried to use them to draw boxes in code comments but while they display perfectly in my terminal they look completely out of proportion when rendered in the GitHub web pages. Anyone else noticed this issue?
