Uses box-drawing characters from the VT100 alternate character set, which TIO can’t demonstrate. Run in a UNIX terminal for best results. My terminal converts the ACS to UTF-8 on copy-and-paste, so you can see the effect here.

Well, the challenge didn’t say we need to take the terminal back out of ACS mode before returning to the shell. Good luck with that.


Ruby, 113 bytes

counting printed symbols as one byte as authorised by the challenge (I was surprised to discover they are actually 3 bytes.)

6.times{|i|s=' A B X'[i]
'D]zunIWkF]nIRukFH'.bytes{|b|s+='   ┌─┐───┘ └'[(b*2>>i/2*2&6)-i%2*6,2]}
s[1]=' '
puts s}

6 lines of output lends itself to an encoding of 6 bits per each character of the magic string. But the magic string characters actually encode for each transition thus:

least significant bit 0 New value for A  
                      1 Current value for A
                      2 New value for B
                      3 Current value for B
                      4 New value for X
                      5 Current value for X
most significant bit  6 Always 1 (to remain in printable range)

This is decoded to find the 2 characters that must be printed for each transition (the first of which is either space or a horizontal line.) The 8-character strings for the upper and lower rows overlap: The last two characters for the upper row 11 are two horizontal lines, which matches with what is needed for the first two characters of the lower row 00. The 8 characters for the lower row wrap around: they are last 6 and first 2 characters of the symbol string.

Ungolfed code

6.times{|i|s=' A B X'[i]               #iterate through 6 lines of output. Set s to the 1st character.
  'D]zunIWkF]nIRukFH'.bytes{|b|        #for each byte in the magic string
     s+='   ┌─┐───┘ └'[(b*2>>i/2*2&6)- #add 2 bytes to s, index 0,2,4, or 6 of the symbol string depending on relevant 2 bits of the magic string.
     i%2*6,2]                          #if the second (odd) row of a particular graph, modify index to -6,-4,-2, or 0 
  }                                    #(ruby indices wrap around. mystring[-1] is the last character of the string.)
  s[1]=' '                             #replace intitial ─ of the curve with space to be consistent with question
  puts s                               #output line
