ASCII art

ASCII art refers to a form of digital art that is created by arranging characters from the ASCII character set into a grid to form a picture. The ASCII character set includes a limited number of characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols, and is limited to just 128 characters. Despite this limited set of characters, ASCII artists are able to create a wide range of images and designs by carefully arranging the characters in such a way that they appear to form a picture. ASCII art has a long history and was popular in the early days of computer graphics, when computers had limited graphical capabilities. It continues to be used today as a form of digital art, especially in the creation of emoticons and other simple graphics used in instant messaging and social media.
