Frequently Asked Questions

What is ASCII?

It's the old-school way of making pictures with text characters. It's from the 60s but still looks cool today.

Will it look right everywhere?

It looks best in 'monospace' fonts (like in code editors or terminals). In Word or on Facebook, it might look a bit wobbly if the font isn't fixed-width.

Can I use this in emails?

Yes, but make sure you set your email to 'Plain Text' or use a font like Courier New.

How do I paste this into Discord or Slack?

Put three backticks (```) before and after your art.That tells Discord to treat it like code and keep it straight.

Is it accessible for screen readers?

Not really. Screen readers will just read 'slash slash pipe underscore'. It's best to add a caption describing the image.

Does it support emojis?

I use standard keyboard characters. If you want emojis, that's a different kind of art!

Is there a character limit?

No, but if you make it too wide, it might wrap on mobile screens and look broken.
