Circle (First attempt)

Just passing time at work, and I've seen some pretty cool things with
ASCII-art (never thought I'd say that).

I've looked  up some "techniques" and have attempted to make a circle.  Any
tips, suggestions, pointers, etc?

(Suggested font, courier new) (hope it works!)

Please use only ASCII text characters when posting to this group.
for example, you have some sort of character at the top of the circle that
appears as boxes to me. the ALT+0180 character you used try ' instead.

Tried to fix the non-ascii-chars:
� (overline) - either use underline a line upwards or a ^
� (dieresis) - better use ^
� (center dot) - perhaps a dash?
� (accent) - use an apostrophe.
� (opening single quotation mark) - use a backquote `
� (closing single quotation mark) - use an apostrophe, too
� (ellipsis) - better use .

Hope i found all ones.
