What makes it a fox

Wikipedia's Fox article lists a triangular face, pointed ears and a bushy tail. The face here is two pointed ears on a flat crown, narrowing to a capital V for the nose. Two slanted lines run from the eyes toward the nose and mark the edge of the muzzle; Big fox face shows them at their longest.

Cute fox text art

Cute foxes has three: a kit with capital O eyes, a fox with ringed eyes and blush on its cheeks, and one in a scarf.

  • Fox holding a sign takes 10 characters where it says YOUR WORDS, or 15 if you type over the padding.
  • For sly fox text art, Sly fox with a wink shuts one eye and Sly fox face, one line narrows both.
  • Squash-proof has six pieces with no run of spaces: three one-liners, two faces and a fox with a kit.

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. Most of the faces share one construction of this site's own: two pointed ears joined by a flat crown, a face that narrows downward, and two slanted lines from the eyes to a capital V for the nose, which mark the edge of the muzzle. 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
