Unicode did the trick, The Aaron, thank you! I modified the characters you selected just for the overall effect. Two things... first, the "new line" characters do render correctly, for whatever that's worth. Second, a question... I used the unicode values to assign to the strings, but I found that once rendered, I could cut & paste them into the dev window. Is there a particular problem with that approach? Some encoding problem I am not foreseeing? Here's what I'm using now: const logsig = '\n' + ' ‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗ ' + '\n' + ' ∖_______________________________________∕ ' + '\n' + ' ∖___________________________________∕ ' + '\n' + ' ___┃ ┃_______________┃ ┃___ ' + '\n' + ' ┃___ _______________ ___┃ ' + '\n' + ' ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ' + '\n' + ' ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ' + '\n' + ' ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ' + '\n' + ' ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ' + '\n' + ' ┃ ┃ ┃ ┃ ' + '\n' + '______________┃ ┃_______________┃ ┃_______________' + '\n' + ' ⎞⎞⎛⎛ ⎞⎞⎛⎛ ' + '\n'; log(`${logsig}`);
