ASCII/Unicode Grid Studio

ASCII/Unicode Grid Studio is a single‑file creative playground for drawing with text. It gives you a pixel‑like canvas made of characters, where every cell is a glyph you can paint, select, move, and export. You get familiar tools—pencil/eraser with adjustable size and shape, lines, boxes, and a circle/ellipse tool with precise thickness, center‑drag, and lock‑to‑circle options—plus creative brushes like Braille (sub‑cell sampling for smooth strokes) and Worms (auto‑connecting pipes with rounded corners, tees, and diagonal smoothing). 

A curated palette of common symbols sits alongside a powerful, lazy‑loaded “UNICODE FULL” browser that opens blocks on demand and skips unsupported glyphs to stay fast. Pick glyphs, or type custom ones directly—with a quick popover to insert your currently selected character into corner/edge inputs. Editing is comfortable: zoom with Ctrl+Wheel, undo/redo, drag‑select to move or copy, and paste. Selections copy as plain text to your system clipboard; you can also export PNG/TXT/JSON and load them back.

For fine control, adjust per‑glyph scale (width × height), cell size, font family/ size, gridlines, and blend mode. Settings can be saved/loaded (and auto‑loaded when available), so your preferred workspace is always ready. Whether you’re sketching box‑drawing UI mockups, crafting roguelike tiles, or exploring typographic art, it’s a fast, self‑contained studio that stays out of your way and lets the characters do the talking.
