thank you!
is this really all ascii? some of those lines don’t look like ASCII characters at all
Akchually 🤓 this style is called “kaomoji” and uses any Unicode characters, not just ASCII. Usually Japanese ones because it came from bulletin boards there and the computers could only be trusted to support the first few Unicode blocks (ASCII, Greek, math) and the Japanese scripts including halfwidth kana and fullwidth Latin. It uses specific fonts but not monospace ones, unlike ASCII art.
Not to be that guy, but couldn’t this have been generated? I’m guessing
drawing/painting - > edge detection - > line scanning - > ASCII substitution
Could be, but this type of ASCII art usually is hand-made. Diagonal lines are hard and look off, easily
There were / are a myriad of tools to draw and convert to ascii art that were popularized on the Japanese internet.
I’d imagine this was done in a tool like that.
If that’s the case, I’d still be impressed that someone could have programmed that
I can’t figure out what it’s supposed to be
