Your pictures appear broken for everyone else on this group, because you're
using a variable width font. ASCII art is always drawn in a fixed width font,
like "Lucida Console" or "Courier". This is because variable fonts have
slightly different character widths, so to see the picture everyone has to use
exactly the same font as the artist. Fixed width fonts allow the picture to be
seen using *any* fixed width font.

You also included a few non-ASCII characters. ASCII art is limited to these
characters:

!"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMN
OPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~

because just about every character encoding contains them. To me the '�' and
'�' characters in your picture look a bit like "<<" and ">>" - but other users
may see them differently.
