Similar to https://www.patorjk.com/software/taag/ But using ASCII-art and stylized Unicode characters has accessibility implications that have been discussed at length on this list [1] and elsewhere [2]. The output of your Unicode Text Converter [3] doesn't play well with screen readers, so please add a notice pointing this out. Also, it's good practice to label preformatted blocks that contain ASCII art in the same way you would add an "alt" attribute to an HTML <img> tag. Example: ``` ASCII-art text: "test" _ _ | |_ ___ ___| |_ | __/ _ \/ __| __| | || __/\__ \ |_ \__\___||___/\__| ``` [1] gemini://gemi.dev/gemini-mailing-list/messages/005631.gmi [2] gemini://ew.srht.site/en/2021/20210411-upd-re-your-gemlog-may-not-be-accessible.gmi [3] gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/cgi-bin/UnicodeText
