Confirmed on an up-to-date Manjaro install, so it is not just an Ubuntu thing. And it's not just nano either, because when I do (in a Dutch locale) for example 'stty cols' (without giving a number), I get an error message that has those two block characters around cols. (On a console, that is. On a terminal emulator it works fine.)

On a console, the accented letters of French, German, and Spanish seem okay. But when I specify Croat as the language... Try running 'LANGUAGE=hr nano', and then type ^G. You'll see twenty, thirty, forty of these block characters. Apparently the console font leaves something to be desired.
