How can I change the character encoding to 7-bit?
Tired of seeing strange characters presumably representing some sort of box around areas of text.

I'm assuming you mean the UTF-8 banner that appears when launching the SageMath REPL (read-eval-print loop) in the command-line:
$ sage
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SageMath version 7.2, Release Date: 2016-05-15 │
│ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface. │
│ Type "help()" for help. │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
sage:
An alternative is to launch Sage in "quiet" mode, without the banner:
$ sage -q
sage:
If you want the version number, use any of these:
$ sage -version
SageMath version 7.2, Release Date: 2016-05-15
$ sage -v
SageMath version 7.2, Release Date: 2016-05-15
$ sage -dumpversion
7.2
Note (how could one find that out by oneself?):
sage -h
or sage -help
will give you the most common flags you can use.sage -advanced
will give you a complete list, which includes -q
