Basic Knowledge
What is ASCII Art (AA)?
ASCII Art (AA) is a technique for expressing pictures and decorative characters by combining characters and symbols. It can be used anywhere text input is available.
When AA Appears Distorted
ASCII Art is designed with monospace fonts where all characters have the same width. Depending on the display environment, the shape may become distorted.
- Display in Monospace Font：A monospace font is a typeface where all characters are displayed with the same width. To preserve the shape of AA, display it using this type of font.
- Watch Out for Line Wrapping：If a line is longer than the display area, it will wrap automatically and become distorted. Create AA with a width that fits within the character limit per line of the target platform.
What is FIGLET?
FIGLET is a program and font format that converts input text into large decorative characters made from a combination of symbols. It is widely used in CLI tool startup screens and source code banners.
