Some variation on the following, mayhap?
{| style="text-align: center; width: 1em; height: 1em;"
| <!-- TopLeft --> || &#124; || <!-- TopMiddle --> || &#124; || <!-- TopRight -->
|-
| &mdash; || + || &mdash; || + || &mdash;
|-
| <!-- MidLeft --> || &#124; || <!-- MidMiddle --> || &#124; || <!-- MidRight -->
|-
| &mdash; || + || &mdash; || + || &mdash;
|-
| <!-- LowLeft --> || &#124; || <!-- LowMiddle --> || &#124; || <!-- LowRight -->
|}

Though you could apply something of style="border-right: ...; border-bottom: ..." to the cells of a straight 3x3 table (not using border-bottom for the third row, or border-right for the third cell in each row) without the ASCII-art aspect...

...Have a look in {{w|Help:Table#Border}} for inspiration? Though if there isn't a good old wikitemplate designed especially for this purpose (either usable or just source-copyable for direct use) I would be very surprised.

Hm, maybe. I was trying to have it look neat in the edit view too, though – perhaps a table is the best option. I’ll mess around with it some more when I’m at a computer :) [[User:Szeth Pancakes|Szeth Pancakes]] ([[User talk:Szeth Pancakes|talk]]) 03:07, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

How about enforced fix-width ''plus'' non-collapsing whitespace?

...it's the lead space (including in front of other spaces) that does the job there. Does a better job even than messing with the <nowiki><tt>, <code> and <br /> tags </nowiki> (can make the same look, but only compounded horribly, per line, in the markup source) and looks very 'clean' in the raw.

-:Thanks! That could work. It's currently very late but when I have more brainpower, I'll give it a try. [[User:Szeth Pancakes|Szeth Pancakes]] ([[User talk:Szeth Pancakes|talk]]) 06:20, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
