C-u 80 C-q 1110041
or evaluate
(make-string 80 ?\u2501)
This gives
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
which should appear as a solid horizontal line if you have unicode support.
See http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2500.pdf for the list of unicodes
related to box drawing. Some examples:
(make-string 80 ?\u2500)
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
(insert "\n\u256D\u2500\u256E\n\u2502\u2660\u2502\n\u2570\u2500\u256F\n")
