Using Sly Smirk in chats and posts
Discord & Twitter
Paste directly into any text input. Single-line text art keeps its shape in proportional fonts because there are no columns to align.
Terminal & CLI tools
Drop into shell scripts, MOTDs, ASCII banners, and CLI help text. Cascadia Code, Fira Code, IBM Plex Mono, and Menlo all render this art cleanly at the same column widths.
Compatibility
Built from standard Unicode characters — copies cleanly across iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, Linux, and the web. Some pieces use Japanese full-width or box-drawing chars; the destination font must include those glyph blocks for the art to render correctly.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Sly Smirk text art?
Sly Smirk is a piece of faces ASCII/Unicode art — 1 line of text characters arranged to draw a picture. Side-eye scheming smirk. Drop when you have a plan.
Why doesn't the art look right when I paste it into Twitter/Instagram?
Single-line art usually copies fine. If something looks off, check that the destination supports the full Unicode block — some older fonts miss specific characters and substitute boxes.
Can I use this in my Discord status or username?
Single-line text art works in Discord status messages and (sometimes) usernames depending on Discord's current filter rules. Multi-line art doesn't fit a status. For longer art, post it inside a code block in a channel.
How do I make my own text art?
Start with a monospaced editor and a reference image. ASCII art uses characters like \\ / | _ - ( ) for outlines and # @ % . for shading. Unicode art uses box-drawing characters (─ │ ┌ ┐ └ ┘) for clean rectangles and ░ ▒ ▓ █ for filled shading. Browse the rest of this collection for inspiration.
