I don't know if it is aligned with a corresponding ISO standard, but
CCITT Recommendation T.101 defines several registered character
repertoires which contain line drawing and mosaic characters (notably,
ther Data Syntax I, II, and III character sets).  The documents that
describe these are:

	CCITT Recommendation T.101
	CCITT Recommendation T.101	Annex B		Data Syntax I
	CCITT Recommendation T.101	Annex C		Data Syntax II
	CCITT Recommendation T.101	Annex D		Data Syntax III

CCITT Rec. T.51 Annex B has a table of the ISO registered character
set selectors for the character sets used by T.101 (and some others).

T.101 was aimed at applications such as Videotex, and so it uses a much
richer set of figure-drawing characters and primitives than something
like the VT100.
