Interesting that a book about a graphical interface protocol has no image whatsoever :=)

Can one do ASCII art in Markdown?

Given that it's all UTF-8, can we call it ASCII art?

Unicode art is monochrome pixel art, thanks to the (Extended) Braille codepoints.

(Bonus: unlike ASCII art, as long as it doesn't turn into tofu it survives display in arbitrary proportional fonts.)

But the irony of doing unicode art to depict a graphical desktop in Markdown cannot be overlooked.
