I think you are a bit confused by the term
"ASCII".. the neat characters that you have
in the above 'wave effect' are not considered
to be ASCII (American Standard Code of
Information Interchange) characters.  They
are not the universal 7-bit characters.
Because of this, some systems don't see
your cool wave -- they may see square blocks,
other characters, or other superfluous coded
characters.  In other words, many people
see your sig as a mess.

This is the reason that it is best to use
pure ASCII characters when posting internationally.

Understand now?
