I assume this is what the top line of your keyboard looks like. And the
default when using German Windows.

>qwertyuiop[]

So this looks inaccurate when using that keyboard.

My top line looks like this: qwertyuiop� and I can still get those []
-characters by pressing AltGr+8 and AltGr+9. So I can make ascii-art
without changing my keyboard settings.

But if I changed the settings, I would have to serch for those
characters on my keyboard since the characters I get when pressing a key
do not correspond to the characters on the keys. 

My point is that use wichever keyboard layout you are familiar with when
typing or when making ascii-art, but do not assume others have the same
keyboard layout.
