Errors and unsupported input
An unsupported symbol becomes a question markUse Latin A–Z, digits, or spaces. The built-in font has a fallback glyph rather than a full Unicode font.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Why does the banner break after pasting into HTML?
Normal HTML collapses spaces. Use a preformatted element and a monospaced font when displaying text art.
