Read the drawing
How this bear ascii art works
The ears are ʕ and ʔ, two phonetic letters for pharyngeal and glottal consonants, and the snout is ᴥ, a small capital from the same phonetic range. Only the eyes are ordinary punctuation, which is why the face reads as round rather than square.
Copy it without breaking the spacing
It is a single line with no spaces to lose, which makes it the most robust drawing here. It survives fields that strip whitespace and character limits that would reject anything taller.
