Ncurses alternative character set?

ruby-talk

I'm exploring the ncurses library for Ruby 1.8, and am unclear how to
access the alternative character set (e.g. ACS_LTEE) from within Ruby.
For example:

    require 'ncurses'
    Ncurses.initscr
    Ncurses.addstr Ncurses.ACS_LTEE
    Ncurses.refresh
    Ncurses.getch
    Ncurses.endwin
    
doesn't print the left tee. How can I access the alternative character
set properly?

window.mvwaddch(0, 0, Ncurses::ACS_LTEE)

Works for me.
