Knight ASCII art

Knight helmet with a plume is a closed helmet with a brow band and a visor of eight colons. Knight with a shield adds shoulders and a shield that carries a chevron; Knight with a banner stands full length beside a pennant.

ASCII gnome and ASCII witch

The gnome's hat is pulled down to a round nose, over a beard and two boots; Gnome pair sets a tall hat beside a short one. Witch face under a hat has a buckle on the band, straight hair and a pointed nose.

  • For wizard text art with something in hand, Wizard with a staff has an orb on top of the shaft.
  • Fairy dust text art is under Witches and fairy dust: a thinning one-line trail and a wand shedding specks.
  • Wizard holding a sign has exactly 10 characters of room where it says YOUR WORDS.

Questions and answers

What is the biggest wizard here?

Wizard, tall hat and beard: 13 lines and 16 columns, with a bent tip on the hat, three stars and a beard five rows long. Knight with a banner is 12 lines.

Is there gnome text art that survives squashed spaces?

Yes. Squash-proof gnome is four rows of six with periods for the gaps: a hat, a nose in parentheses and two boots. Small gnome is the same figure with spaces.

Does the knight text art show a sword?

No. The knights here carry a shield or a banner and no weapon. One-line swords are on the one-line ASCII art page.

How do you type a wizard hat?

Stack a slash and a backslash, widen them on each row, and close with a row of hyphens between apostrophes. Small wizard hat is four rows and 8 columns, with two asterisks for stars.

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 wizards share one construction of this site's own: a pointed hat with asterisks for stars and a wide brim, two eyes, a mustache of two carets and a beard of the letter v that narrows to a point. The witch wears the same hat with a square buckle and straight hair, the gnomes are a tall hat pulled down to a round nose over a beard and two boots, and the knights are a closed helmet with a brow band and a visor of colons. No knight carries a weapon. 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
