Art made from (usually [[Monospace]]d typeface) characters, purportedly from the ASCII table, but in reality uses more of unicode.
ASCII is actually a Military Spec. Cool. From MIL-STD-188-100 (via Wikipedia):
![[Pasted image 20240709163706.png]]
[[Extended Markdown Syntax]] and [[Mermaid JS]] both actually use ASCII Art. Tables are literally _drawn_ out in [[Markdown]] tables. And [[Mermaid JS]] [[flow charts]] draw out [[Subject-Predicate-Object|Semantic Triple]] using hyphens and greater/less-than signs as arrows.
`Subject-- Verb -->predicate` is valid [[Mermaid JS]]:
```mermaid
flowchart LR
Subject-- Verb -->Object
```
Meanwhile a table in [[Markdown]] looks like this:
```plaintext
| Ball | Weight |
| ------- | ------ |
| Golf | Light |
| Bowling | Heavy |
```
