List your favorite characters here! Unicode, ASCII, etc.

^ What is that, anyway? It seems to read 'Pts'...

Maybe we could use that in games?

Hm, my favorites are:
çé♥→
I use those fairly often and I know the codes by ♥-- er, I mean by heart. Um, otherwise I like these ones, too:

╔═╦╗░
╠═╬╣▒
║ ║║▓
╚═╩╝█

I like to make mazes out of those in Notepad :D

I like those. Pretty nice for plain text readmes. They screw up terribly bad in some browsers, though.

I'm going to start using those in readmes now :o Great for "pixels" too, I guess (the ones on the right).

There are also single-bordered lines, if you check my TI-81 Illusiat readme.

Yeah, that is why i tend to avoid them. I am not even sure how I should save them (I typically go with Unicode). But yeah, some browsers will have issues with these non standard characters... I made a readme for an old, old BASIC program called Block Eater that used these, but mostly because I was bored and I wanted to doodle. Doodling is kinda tough in Notepad, though :D

My favorite character?  I'd probably have to go with
無
(for its geek significance, though the actual meaning of the character is rather mundane)

Recently, though, I was amused to discover the character

There's a list with a ton of them. ☺ ░▒▓█  I swear, there were better websites though...
At one point, I made this whole tutorial for "making boxes with unicode" :P
