Curvature of the Mind now with 3D
Not exactly what I was expecting from the title, but nice anyway. (All three links are nice, but I'll go with Star Wars as the most impressive and probably the most work needed.) I was expecting graphical ASCII characters being used to create graphical images. Then I thought, "It's been so long, what are the graphical ASCII characters?"? Wrote a quick SQL script to find the values. NOT what I remember doing with graphical ASCII characters in the past. I remember a cross image like "+" that would graphically tie in both vertically and horizontally, a horizontal line with up and down ticks and a vertical line with left and right ticks. I can't even use the remaining graphic characters (ascii 1 through 6) here because they aren't supported on the web. If you are interested in the full set of ASCII characters, here's the SQL code:
declare @num int = 0, @numc varchar(3), @line varchar(100) = ''
while @num < 256
begin
select @numc=@num, @line = @line+@numc+CHAR(@num)+', ', @num=@num +1
if LEN(@line) > 80
begin
print @line
set @line = ''
end
end
print @line -

That was amazing! I can't even imagine how long it took to make something like that! That really deserves a :beer: !!! I think I'll go drink one now while I watch... :cool:
The world is going to laugh at you anyway, might as well crack the 1st joke! My code has no bugs, it runs exactly as it was written.

Oh, come on, let's use the text mode: http://mx-3.cz/tringi/www/Shoot_em_ASCII

You're not seeing the characters you remember because of your db's default collation - the code page is wrong. The character you were thinking about is ASCII 197 ┼ There are quite a few others in the range 176 ░ to 218 ┌

Thanks, you are absolutely right. That's what I get for believing Microsoft documentation: Converts an int ASCII code to a character. Transact-SQL Syntax Conventions Syntax CHAR ( integer_expression ) OK, first off, you can change the default collation of a table's collumn, what would be the collation name that would store true ASCII characters in a table? Here are the real 1-6 ascii values: ☺☻♥♦♣♠ and the list of the last 135 ascii characters 120 xyz{|}~⌂Çü 130 éâäàåçêëèï 140 îìÄÅÉæÆôöò 150 ûùÿÖÜ¢£¥₧ƒ 160 áíóúñѪº¿⌐ 170 ¬½¼¡«»░▒▓│ 180 ┤╡╢╖╕╣║╗╝╜ 190 ╛┐└┴┬├─┼╞╟ 200 ╚╔╩╦╠═╬╧╨╤ 210 ╥╙╘╒╓╫╪┘┌█ 220 ▄▌▐▀αßΓπΣσ 230 µτΦΘΩδ∞φε∩ 240 ≡±≥≤⌠⌡÷≈°∙ 250 ·√ⁿ²■ That can get some nice (or not so nice in this case) graphics: ┌─┬─┐ ├─┼─┤ ╞═╪═╡ └╖╘╤╛ ╔╩═╧╗ OK, used/modified the documentated script that continues getting bad ascii data in SQL: DECLARE @position int, @string varchar(8000) DECLARE @tbl table(i int identity primary key, Ascii tinyint, charval char) -- Initialize the current position and the string variables.

Only one problem with that statement, those are not ASCII characters! That is why the code page setting mattered. The American Standard Code for Information Interexchange is a seven bit code, not an eight bit code. It consists solely of character codes 0 (zero) through 127 inclusive. Only IBM PCs and compatibles displayed the characters you referred to at all, all other computers either displayed different symbols (Apple Macintosh, Commodore C64/128/Amiga, Atari 400/800/1200/ST) or used the eight bit for a completely different purpose, such as the Apple 2 series using it to indicate whether text was displayed as white letters on a black background, or black letters on a white background. Futhermore, even the IBM PC did not always display those symbols for those character codes, other code pages used them to support the Spanish, French, or Greek alphabets for example.

Thanks, nothing like down voting a one word opinion.
