ASCIItegnene

ASCIItegnene, also known as ASCII art, is a graphic design technique that uses computers for presentation and consists of pictures pieced together from the 95 printable (from a total of 128) characters defined by the ASCII Standard from 1963 and ASCII compliant character sets with proprietary extended character sets (the upper 33 are for control codes and are mostly non-printing in the ISO 646 variant). ASCII art is produced by using known characters in a text file or stream of text output. The term "ASCII art" was coined by Ken Knowlton in 1971. ASCII art is often used to create images, shapes, or text effects in a text-based environment, such as email, forums, or command-line interfaces. It can be created manually or generated using software tools. ASCII art is a form of net art and is often used to convey emotions, ideas, or messages in a visually engaging way. The simplicity and universality of ASCII art make it a popular choice for various applications, including games, logos, and decorative elements. Despite its limitations, ASCII art continues to be a creative and expressive medium in the digital age.
