How this list was compiled: Own work: every piece was drawn for this page on 2026-10-02, rendered in a monospaced font and looked at; none is copied from an archive or another site, and nothing from a named show, book or game is drawn. The larger faces share one construction of this site's own: round ears set on the corners of the head and, on most, a muzzle with a capital Y for the nose and mouth; a panda has number signs for its dark ears and, on the larger pieces, for its eye patches and limbs. Read on 2026-10-02 in Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0): bears have small rounded ears, short tails and paws with five claws (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bear); the giant panda has a white coat, patched black at the eyes, ears, shoulders and legs and eats almost only bamboo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_panda); a teddy bear is a bear-shaped stuffed toy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_bear). Every character is one of the 95 printable ASCII characters, U+0020 to U+007E. Squash-proof means no line starts with a space and no two spaces touch. The comment box badge means at most 8 lines and 30 columns: a rule of thumb of this site, not a promise about any app. Licence: own work
