Image for ASCII art

ASCII art

ASCII art is a technique that creates images using characters from the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) set, which includes letters, numbers, and symbols. By strategically arranging these characters, artists form visual representations that resemble pictures or designs. This method originated in early computer graphics when graphical displays were limited, making it a creative way to produce images using simple text. Today, ASCII art is used for artistic expression, digital decorations, or playful representations in text-based environments, highlighting how simple characters can be combined to form intricate visual compositions.
