hello. i've decided to try to start making my own ascii art... for now, i'm going to stick with Egyptian symbols and other similar pagan mythologies. so far, i've done the Eye of Horus and a classic Ankh. i was going to post them here, but when i did a message Preview in google, some of the characters got replaced with bits of code... does anyone know how i can prevent this? in the meantime, is there a website somewhere with it's own message board where ppl share ascii art? ciao for niao...

In an attempt to answer your question your charachter set may have used non-standard charachters. This should answer a lot of your question http://www.ascii-art.de/ascii/faq.html and a few more. obascii -- scribe ,-~. | \ \|/ _|_ |=-|) | o |(_) | |_o_| | LGB lgbeard

Not a flame. These are what you should stay with some news readers will dispay the higher charcthers as ? or be replaced others. From the FAQ. One should read it. It is very helpful. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) 7-bit as defined in ISO-646 is a basic set of 128 numbered symbols which almost all kinds of computer can display. Here are the ones that are used for ASCII art: 032 [space] 048 0 064 @ 080 P 096 ` 112 p 033 ! 049 1 065 A 081 Q 097 a 113 q 034 " 050 2 066 B 082 R 098 b 114 r 035 # 051 3 067 C 083 S 099 c 115 s 036 $ 052 4 068 D 084 T 100 d 116 t 037 % 053 5 069 E 085 U 101 e 117 u 038 & 054 6 070 F 086 V 102 f 118 v 039 ' 055 7 071 G 087 W 103 g 119 w 040 ( 056 8 072 H 088 X 104 h 120 x 041 ) 057 9 073 I 089 Y 105 i 121 y 042 * 058 : 074 J 090 Z 106 j 122 z 043 + 059 ; 075 K 091 [ 107 k 123 { 044 , 060 < 076 L 092 \ 108 l 124 | 045 - 061 = 077 M 093 ] 109 m 125 } 046 . 062 > 078 N 094 ^ 110 n 126 ~ 047 / 063 ? 079 O 095 _ 111 o > so please >flame away if i totally messed these up, but i hope i did good... btw, >the eye of horus is too wide, so i'll attempt to fix that and post it >at some point... here's my ankh, my anubis (note the sig in the ears), >and an ohm i just did this morning (btw, my screen name is Anubis >Darkwood, but google doesn't allow you to change your screen name once >you've registered... suckage).
