Are there any "Unicode art" edition?

Way more code points to render.

If it's only about shading, maybe. Although I found this style of ASCII art to be the least interesting. The better variants also do edge detection and consider the character shape. If you're going Unicode, I think one of the prettier options is Braille, although that's little more than a B&W subpixel rendering then.

Sounds neat. Got one in mind?

JavE's (http://jave.de) converter was quite good with a bunch of options. But I haven't used any of those things in ... ages by now, so no idea what's the current state of the art.
