Check the final result
Monospace fonts preserve the intended spacing. Use fenced code blocks or preformatted text in apps that collapse repeated spaces, and check backslashes when pasting into source code.
Read the drawing
How this middle finger ascii works
The hands are ╭∩╮, built from box-drawing corner pieces around an intersection character, which together read as a raised finger with a knuckle either side. The face between them is deliberately blank, which is what makes the gesture rather than the expression carry the message.
Copy it without breaking the spacing
One line with no spaces or backslashes, so it survives almost anywhere. Box-drawing characters are very widely supported, though in a proportional font the hands sit slightly closer to the face than intended.
Practical ideas
Where to use middle finger ascii
- 01
Banter with close friends
- 02
Reacting to a bad pun
- 03
Gaming chat
Make your own variation
Use a single ╭∩╮ for one hand rather than two. Swapping the flat -_- face for ಠ_ಠ makes it read as disapproving rather than dismissive, and t(-_-t) is a compact alternative built from letters.

Use the copy button so the whole value is captured, including the spaces, line breaks and less common characters that hold its shape together.
