Read the drawing
How this skull ascii art works
The top line creates a rounded cranium, parentheses become hollow eyes and repeated vertical strokes suggest teeth. It is compact enough for chat while still looking recognisably like a skull on a six-line terminal grid.
Copy it without breaking the spacing
Keep the leading spaces on the first, second and fourth lines. Send it inside a code block when an app collapses repeated spaces, and check that backslashes have not been treated as escape characters in source code.
