Read the drawing
How this heart ascii art works
Rows of 8s create the heart's solid centre, while commas, letters and apostrophes round the top and taper the bottom. The repeated characters give it a denser, more traditional terminal-art look than the simple <3 symbol.
Copy it without breaking the spacing
Preserve all five lines and use a monospace font. Some editors replace straight apostrophes with curly ones; turn off smart quotes so the edges remain aligned and the bottom point stays centred.

Make your own variation
Place initials below the point, repeat the heart side by side, or replace the 8s with another single-width character. Avoid emoji hearts inside the shape because they usually occupy a different width in terminals.
