What makes it a unicorn

The horn. Here it is a cone with bands of equals signs under a caret, set between two ears on a long face with two nostrils. Unicorn horn with sparkles and Unicorn horn on one line draw the horn alone.

Faces with something added

Unicorn with a long mane lets tildes fall down one side. Unicorn under a rainbow sits beneath an arch of two bands, and Unicorn behind a cloud shows only horn, ears and eyes.

  • Unicorn holding a sign takes 10 characters where it says YOUR WORDS; the row holds 11.
  • Squash-proof has 5 pieces with no run of spaces: two one-liners, a face, a baby and a horn.

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. Most of the pieces share one construction of this site's own: a horn drawn as a cone with bands of equals signs, set between two ears on a long face that narrows to a muzzle with two nostrils. One piece shows the whole animal from the side, in exactly six lines. 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
