You could just put Unicode box-drawing characters to either side
of the Japanese characters, eg ━ is BOX DRAWINGS HEAVY HORIZONTAL
but there are various weights, and corners etc in the same region
as this one (Hex code point 2501, Decimal code point 9473,
Hex UTF-8 bytes E2 94 81, Octal UTF-8 bytes 342 224 201,
UTF-8 bytes as Latin-1 characters bytes â <94> <81>
)
