Monodraw – an ASCII-editor for the Mac under development. It’s presented primarily as a way to model ideas and structures, rather than making art.
Monodraw allows you to easily create text-based art – like diagrams, layouts, flow charts and visually represent algorithms, data structures, binary formats and more.

Kopimi Totem (2014) by Evan Roth features 7 wi-fi routers, whose network names together form an ASCII-pyramid. They all provide read/write access to the Piratbyrån archives.
All displayable Unicode characters, one for each frame. Made by Jörg Piringer. It shows 49571 characters, compared to decodeunicode’s that shows 51,980. Possibly because he only uses one font? (Helvetica)

2 hour video that shows all the 109,242 characters of Unicode 6.0. Made by the decodeunicode crew, apparently independent from the one that Jörg Piringer did.
Book with all 109,242 characters of Unicode 6.0. It’s 656 pages, made in 2011 by Johannes Bergerhausen & Siri Poarangan for the decodeunicode project.
The book uses 66 different fonts since there is no font that supports all Unicode characters. Images from here and here.
the unicode 7.0 standard has been released, and it adds a bunch of characters to the Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs block (or “new emoji” according to some in the media)
but most of these “new” characters have been around for more than 15 years, as part of the webdings and wingdings 1-3 fonts! so if you have these fonts installed then you don’t have to wait until to play around with them until your chat app is updated — you can enjoy them using the glitch text generator!
for example, the much-talked-about “no piracy” character is “#” in webdings.
