Output

Draw a word as block letters — each character built from a 5×7 grid, ready to paste into a code comment, README, terminal output or chat. The glyphs are hand-drawn from a standard bitmap font and cover 26 letters, 10 digits and over 40 common symbols. The fill character is yours to pick (#, *, @ each read differently) and the spacing can be widened. Trailing whitespace is stripped, so pasting elsewhere will not drag a long tail of spaces along. Characters that cannot be drawn (CJK, emoji) are listed in an error rather than silently turned into question marks — a block-letter greeting with two question marks looks fine and is missing exactly what you typed.

Features

  • 5×7 bitmap glyphs covering A–Z, 0–9 and 40+ common symbols
  • Changeable fill character: # by default, or *, @, O and so on
  • Letter spacing of 1 or 2 columns
  • Lowercase is uppercased automatically
  • No trailing whitespace, so pasting elsewhere stays clean
  • Characters that cannot be drawn are listed, never silently replaced

How to use

  1. Type the text to draw (letters and digits)
  2. The block letters appear as you type
  3. Change the fill character or widen the spacing if you like
  4. Copy the whole block into a comment or README

FAQ

Does it support Chinese or Japanese?
No. The bitmap font is drawn glyph by glyph, and covers ASCII letters, digits and common symbols only — no CJK, no emoji. Typing them produces a clear error listing exactly which characters could not be drawn.
What is this used for?
Three things, mostly: section banners in code comments (a drawn `// SECTION`), headings in a README or document, and startup banners in terminal scripts. It also works as decoration inside a chat code block — it is plain text, so it survives anywhere.
Why leave a column between characters?
Because the glyph edges touch otherwise: without a gap, HELLO reads as one mass. One column is the default; choose two for a looser look.
