👾 ASCII Art: Textual Mosaics in the Digital Age

ASCII Art is the glyph of glyphs—a visual language made entirely from keyboard characters. Before images loaded, ASCII was how the web drew with letters.

🧮 What Makes It Glyphic?

  • Character Canvas: Uses letters, numbers, and symbols to form pictures.

  • Legacy: Still used in code comments, memes, and hacker aesthetics.

📜 Why It Belongs in the Codex

This is the textual scroll—a glyph of constraint, creativity, and digital folklore.
