Text Art

Text art, also known as ASCII art, is a creative way of representing images or designs using only characters from the keyboard, like letters, numbers, and symbols. By arranging these characters in specific patterns, artists can craft visual representations that range from simple shapes to detailed pictures. It originated in the early days of computer graphics when images weren't easily supported, making it an innovative method of visual expression within plain text. Today, text art is used for artistic, decorative, or nostalgic purposes, showcasing how simple characters can convey complex visuals.
