You probably know the ASCII text Art maybe you saw someone post one on their Facebook page or a comment, or received it via email or text message. Yes, we are talking about the Giant Emoticons made in text.
A ASCII art is a form of artistic expression using only the characters available in computer code page tables. (ASCII, English abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Exchange). Before computers, there was already a similar art made with typewriters. However, as there are more characters available on computers, this form of artistic expression has risen in order to become more elaborate and with a more refined aesthetic concern.
The Japanese tend to dedicate a lot to this art, and create text illustrations of characters from anime, manga and the like.
I wanted to paste some examples in text into our article, but the site's text font doesn't allow it. So I will leave some external links to sites where you can find these arts and share with friends.
