 You used some non-ASCII characters. Keep in mind that ASCII-Characters
are those with an value of 32-126 decimal or 20 to 7E hex. Someone who
has a list handy please post it :-)
 The eyes you made are using 192dec (or c0hex), which isn't in this
rage, and the feet are made up of 248dec. There is also a small reminder
to use the ' instead of � (which looks quite the same in most charsets
but isn't ASCII either). So use the ' (should be SHIFT-# on german
keyboard or SHIFT-7, I believe?).
 My ascii-diddle for this little owl (I think):

  ,--.
  `LL'
  '  `
  `oo'

 Well, it doesn't work out that well... But at least it's universal and
can be seen by everyone (with a monospaced font). The codes from 128dec
on are up to the local encoding. Quite many people use iso-8859-1 for
that (which is what you used) but not all of them. But all have the
ASCII characters. Read about this in detail in the FAQ which is posted
quite frequently.

 Here the same as above:

  `LvL'
   (_)
 --"-"--

 Well, somehow the L doesn't look quite well - but at the moment I can't
think of anything suiting better and displaying the thing you wanted
displayed....

 Here it's just the eye, again:

  ///)
 ///o(
 // _/
  | |
 (  \
 \\ \)
  )\ \
 /  \_\
 |   \&
 |    |
 |    |
 |    |
 |____|
   (_\

 I think, the 'o' does suit quite well in here.

 I hope you are - in the last time some people got my hints in the wrong
throught....  *sigh*

 But nice work, anyway!!  Don't stop drawing - just remember to stick to
the ASCII-characters only.
