Overview編集

AA (アスキーアート, asukī āto) stands for ASCII art, an art form that uses letters. This kind of letter play was already around in the typewriter era from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century.


In Japan, it was used in PC communication, and in the 2000s, it was widely used on 2channel.

In Japan, AA culture flourished because the country was a 2-byte area and could use a large number of characters even before Unicode.


However, since the latter half of the 2000s, the number of AA shokunins (artisan) has continued to decrease due to the decline in PC users and the prosperity of video sites, and an ice age has arrived where the only opportunities to see AA are the copy and paste of vandals aimed at slandering and inciting discrimination. In addition, since AA was based on the unique character width of MS PGothic, as the shift to Meiryo progressed, more and more PC environments became unable to support AA itself. MS PGothic compatible fonts were also created, but they failed to stop the decline of AA culture.


As a result, AA has been quietly declining, and now AA for trolling is left in various places in the abandoned 2channel boards, where it is still posted night after night for the purpose of trolling.
