ASCII fish art combines fish and other emoticons with other keyboard characters to create illustrations or other artwork. ASCII art can occupy a single line or be created by combining multiple lines of text.

ASCII art looks best if created using a fixed-width font (like traditional typewriter fonts).

To test for fixed or variable width fonts, paste these two lines into your text editor:
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii|
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW|

If they are different lengths, you using a variable length font.
If your program uses a fixed font, they should both be the same length.
