ASCII art
<graphics> (Or "character graphics", "ASCII graphics") The
fine art of drawing diagrams using the ASCII character set
(mainly "|-/\+").
See also boxology. Here is a serious example:
o----)||(--+--|<----+ +---------o + D O
L )||( | | | C U
A I )||( +-->|-+ | +-\/\/-+--o - T
C N )||( | | | | P
E )||( +-->|-+--)---+--)|--+-o U
)||( | | | GND T
o----)||(--+--|<----+----------+

| | \ o.O| ACK! / \_ |` '| _/ \
| | =(_)= THPHTH! / \/ \/ \
| (o)(o) U / \

There is an important subgenre of ASCII art that puns on the
standard character names in the fashion of a rebus.

Within humorous ASCII art, there is, for some reason, an
entire flourishing subgenre of pictures of silly cows. One is
shown in Figure 2; here are three more:
