I've only noticed this for a single character type so far, and it's the mesh-like character that is used for progress bars
Here's what I mean
Untitled
In the screenshot above the difference in height between the said mesh-like character and the box character is clearly visible, but the extending up on the line above is more clearly visible in this next one
Untitled1
It's not the biggest of bugs and it's not really that important nor does it need immediate attention, but it is something that is really bothering me and I thought I should point it out.

What character is this specifically? Can you find the unicode codepoint for it? (Or copy the output of that box and put it into a file and upload it?)

Yes, I have found the character in the character map, here is a screenshot to verify that it is in fact that one

And I have highlighted the Unicode value at the bottom
