How this list was compiled: Own work: every piece was drawn for this page on 2026-10-03, rendered in a monospaced font and looked at; none is copied from an archive or another site, and nothing from a named show, book, film or game is drawn. The guitars are drawn lying on their side, body to the left and neck to the right, with frets as upright bars and pegs as the letter o. The piano keyboard has seven white keys and five black keys in a group of two and a group of three; the drums have zigzag lacing between two rims. 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
