A picture like that with those "domino" components assumes Unicode, which is strictly for exchanging among programs which are aware of it, and less often, for example, pasting it into the QB64 IDE. That's why I offered a few simple examples using ordinary characters from the ASCII code range 32-126 only, and also your contributions in post #13. Sometimes the other glyphs could be used like the brick blocks and the single- and double-line stuff but it would depend then on the Linux terminal or other display device going along with CP437.
I would have to check this version of "xterm" that claims to support Unicode, but I would have to limit my processing to programming in Freebasic.
On one of the Linux distros I came across this:
https://linux.die.net/man/1/urxvt
This wasn't the page I desired to display, but Github are being lame about "permissions" right now. Probably it was for the repository of somebody coming up with an emulation. (shrugs)
That terminal should be able to display all ASCII art presented in this topic and more. Less reliable are the "ordinary" terminal emulators.
Windows should be able to do it, but again, it might require working with Unicode if the user wants way more variety than ASCII code 32-126.
This might confuse another user, but these are not the numbers I use with CHR$():
