vt(4) is inherently Unicode & UTF-8, so you'll have to use the Unicode
code point for the character instead. CP437 0xB3 is Unicode U+2502, or
0xE2 0x94 0x82 as UTF-8. You should be able to confirm you can output
it with zsh/bash builtin printf: printf '\xe2\x94\x82'

Adding support for non-Unicode/UTF-8 mapping is on the vt(4) TODO list.
