Oops, I missed the OP's "empty box" information.

The OP likely expects what we get using utf8, but even iso88591 shows a
tree, it's just not using "├─", but instead it's using "`-".

What's the output of

 echo $LANG

?

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ locale

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ LANG=en_GB.iso88591 htop
[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ echo $LANG
en_US.utf8

It's simlar for tree.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ LANG=en_GB.iso88591 tree | head -n3
