Declare a character.

Then assign integer values(ASCII values) to it.

I am not sure about the exact ascii of the boxes

but thats how it's done

Setting the console font is platform dependent, therefore you'll need to use the Windows SDK for this. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/ms682073(VS.85).aspx for console functions.
