I also had this experience with Archlinux and a UTF-8 TTY console. I reverted
back to 6.0+20170527 for a bit, which made things work again. However, after
trying out tmux for the first time, I ended up with an even better fix.

Go ahead and upgrade to 6.0+20170902, then install tmux, and run:

tmux new <path to golded> -C<path to golded config>

Now you'll even see the correct arrows being used, rather than ">", borders
will contain line drawings, and the scroll bar should appear correctly with box
 drawings as well.

What we did find out, was that it may have been something just on Archlinux, or
 the way it is precompiled for some distros, as Maurice does LFS, and his
latest patched ncurses (6.0+20170911 I believe) was specifically compiled for
wide ncurses support only, and he had no problems at all.

Regards,
Nick
