Akchually 🤓 this style is called "kaomoji" and uses any Unicode characters, not just ASCII. Usually Japanese ones because it came from bulletin boards there and the computers could only be trusted to support the first few Unicode blocks (ASCII, Greek, math) and the Japanese scripts including halfwidth kana and fullwidth Latin. It uses specific fonts but not monospace ones, unlike ASCII art.
