Ncurses alternative character set?

Ruby
1

I’m exploring the ncurses library for Ruby 1.8, and am unclear how to
access the alternative character set (e.g. ACS_LTEE) from within Ruby.
For example:

require 'ncurses'
Ncurses.initscr
Ncurses.addstr Ncurses.ACS_LTEE
Ncurses.refresh
Ncurses.getch
Ncurses.endwin

doesn’t print the left tee. How can I access the alternative character
set properly?

Works for me.
