Get the most out of your keyboard

It comes in different color shapes and sizes. Used to be part of a computer, but now even phones and other gadgets have it. You might already guess it, the keyboard.

There is not much special about the keyboard, for most it is simply another way to use their hands and communicate something. Nonetheless there are more characters than just the QWERTY alphabet keys. These other symbols can create nice designs to make your text more decorated.

~`!@#$%^&*()_+-=|{[}]\"?':;/><.,

Above you can see the variety of different characters. Nothing interesting right? Until you come across people that create things like this:

_--_                                     _--_
/#()# #\         0             0         /# #()#\
|()##  \#\_       \           /       _/#/  ##()|
|#()##-=###\_      \         /      _/###=-##()#|
 \#()#-=##  #\_     \       /     _/#  ##=-#()#/
  |#()#--==### \_    \     /    _/ ###==--#()#|
  |#()##--=#    #\_   \!!!/   _/#    #=--##()#|
   \#()##---===####\   O|O   /####===---##()#/
    |#()#____==#####\ / Y \ /#####==____#()#|
     \###______######|\/#\/|######______###/
        ()#O#/      ##\_#_/##      \#O#()
       ()#O#(__-===###/ _ \###===-__)#O#()
      ()#O#(   #  ###_(_|_)_###  #   )#O#()
      ()#O(---#__###/ (_|_) \###__#---)O#()
      ()#O#( / / ##/  (_|_)  \## \ \ )#O#()
      ()##O#\_/  #/   (_|_)   \#  \_/#O##()
       \)##OO#\ -)    (_|_)    (- /#OO##(/
        )//##OOO*|    / | \    |*OOO##\\(
        |/_####_/    ( /X\ )    \_####_\|
       /X/ \__/       \___/       \__/ \X\
      (#/                               \#)



Aside from that you can simply decorate with the curly braces {like this} or you can use a stylish text generator to create something (¯`·.¸¸.-> °º lιĸe тнιѕ º° <-.¸¸.·´¯).

Even tough you cannot use these in professional letters, it is something that can be played around with when writing fun things online. While browsing the net for interesting ASCII artwork, I cam across these three. I won't have the patience to create these but they certainly are nice to look at.
