rsa - thanks, but that’s changing the parameters of the question. Nice solution, though.
Thanks to all for finding cites which claim this is not possible, as I (and several of my frustrated colleagues, friends and family members) have come to this conclusion as well. Now to find a suitable punishment for the person who supplied us with this unsolvable puzzle…
Um, hello? The gry question?
Nothing to add except
<— They’re available in Character map or hold down ALT and type 0129 at least in windows.
You can always ask him “Why is a raven like a writing desk?”
I was toying around with the cylinder idea also, but still couldn’t make it work.

Not to hijack this completely, but FlyingDragonFan, what is the solution to level 28, if you know? I’ve been working at it for months on and off, and can’t even get it WITH the hint…
I did it! I did it!

Make a line from circle 1 to box 3(going above box 1), with another line branching off to box 2 and another branching off to box 1. Then make another line from circle two to box 1 and 3, tow separate lines not going outside the area. Then make a line from circle 3 to box2, not going outside the area. Make one more line going between box 2 and 3 to connect it to the line that branched off three tmies. Viola! All circles are connected to all of the boxes, and on a flat surface.
Sorry caveman, 27 and 28 still have me stumped.
Anubis, I’m don’t think I’m quite following. You’re suggesting that the solution, in essence, is to consider a line that branches as one line? I guess there’s nothing in the initial parameters that would disallow this, but it bothers me aesthetically for some reason. For that matter, you could just draw a circle around the whole construct, then draw a “branch” connecting the circle to each character.
Or am I misreading what you’re saying?
