Not bad.  I use it now, except that I removed the arrow-heads.

There is still a problem: some arrow-heads have a vertical line below
it, but some don't.  Is it possible to tweak the variables (or the
code) such that different characters can be used for them?

I enabled it by putting the lines in ~/.gnus, saying C-x RET f utf-8
RET, putting "-*- coding: utf-8; -*-" in the first line of the file,
then saving it.  Does that work for you, too, Jesper?
