Write on the sign first
Words to type over holds the 4 pieces that take your text: Bunny holding a sign (two lines of 13 characters), Squash-proof bunny sign (9, padded with dots), Bunny with a speech bubble and Rabbit hutch with a name. Keep every sign line the same length, or the right-hand bar moves. Fits a comment box marks the 32 pieces within 8 lines and 30 columns.
Where a bunny loses its shape
Anything taller than one line wants a monospaced font and its spaces kept; the cat ASCII art page explains why, and what Markdown does to a backslash, which 28 of these 34 contain. Squash-proof keeps the 9 that have no spaces to lose: 5 one-liners and 4 taller pieces, a sign bunny among them.
Tips
An ascii art bunny for a sign-off: Sleeping bunny, one line (13 characters) or Squash-proof bunny face (3 lines by 5).
Lop-eared bunny's ears droop, which is what defines a lop. Bunny with tall ears grows by a line of bars.
Search easter for the basket and striped egg; its zigzag row is 6 characters to repaint. One-character rabbits: bunny symbols.
Questions and answers
Why does the sign wobble on a sign bunny I copied elsewhere?
Check its edges. If the top is ￣ (Fullwidth macron, U+FFE3) and the bottom ＿ (Fullwidth low line, U+FF3F), Unicode classes both as Fullwidth: twice as wide as a letter in an East Asian fixed-pitch font. The sign bunnies here are keyboard characters, one column each.
How do I fit a longer message on the sign?
Widen every sign line by the same amount. On Bunny holding a sign that is one more hyphen in each edge and one more space in each text line per extra character; the post stays put. It is 17 columns now; stop at 30.
Is a rabbit piece different from a bunny piece?
Only in the name. Search reads both words on all 34, so either finds everything. Three bunnies in a row borrows the proper terms: a male rabbit is a buck, a female a doe and a young one a kit.

How this list was compiled: Every piece was typed for this page and checked in a monospaced font on 2026-09-19; none is copied from an archive or another site. Two figures are older than this site and are not its invention: the three-line keyboard bunny, ears over a face over paws, whose ear line (\_/) 20 of the 34 pieces use, and the bunny holding a sign, which went round social media years before this page was written. The set starts from the sign-holding bunny, redrawn here in keyboard characters so the sign keeps its edges, and adds faces, whole rabbits seen from the front, the side and behind, a lop, carrots, two Easter pieces, a handful of scenes and four taller pieces with no run of spaces in them. Each character was looked up in the Unicode Character Database, version 18.0.0: names and categories in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt, width classes in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/EastAsianWidth.txt, the Emoji property in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt, all read on 2026-09-19. Keyboard characters only means 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
