Line 21:
So...what about those of use who don't ASCII terminals, but only Unicode terminals? <tt>:-)</tt> I've intentionally put some FULLWIDTH chars into the perl6 solution because it looks better. It doesn't seem quite right to refer to Unicode art as ASCII art anymore, so I suggest we start retiring the term ASCII art in favor of Unicode art. --[[User:TimToady|TimToady]] 00:55, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
::We can still use the term "Ascii Art", because the artwork is made of characters that appear in the Ascii table, and can be displayed on an Ascii compatible terminal (We are talking about the appearance or shape of the characters here, not the numeric codes). The terminal may use different codes for the characters, but that does not matter. I would still say that the artwork is still Ascii art, because it could be represented as such by transcoding. --[[User:Markhobley|Markhobley]] 12:46, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
:Heh it does look better in my xterm, but looks terrible in the browser. I think firefox decided to use some proportional font for those wide chars because my default monospace font doesn't have them. Also, the first cuboid still doesn't look anywhere near 2x3x4 :) --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 01:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
