On my computer, "*" looks like ">|<."

But the letter usually looks like:

\  |  /
 \/|\/
 / | \
/  |  \

|   _/\_                 /\              _____
|  / `` \ or maybe     _/__\_             | |
|                     /      \ (not A)    J | (about as small as it gets)

Didn't I do the 'l'?
___  
J |  E N |/| N   

Looks fine in two lines.

let me give a shot at the 'd'
  _   
 /_|  
'   ' 
   __
  / |
 /__|
|    |

Hmm... three lines seems to be the smallest...

|Anyway, as you can see, one-liners are impossible.

yep. you could use 'dth', and stuff, but it's doesnt give accurate
pronounciation.

yep. I said I thought the name was Polish before...

two or three lines could work.
