My Funny Picture

what are those keyboard symbol pictures called? ><((((º>?

i dont think it's ASCII cause they're the ones where its heaps of dashes and stuff to make a large picture, but what's the one line ones? like this ><((((º> is a fish and this @>"---,--- is a rose. and what are the ones called that aren't made from keyboard symbols but other little things that make up a little one line picture of like pretty lines or weird faces and that... like these: ̿ ̿ '̿'̿\̵͇̿̿\з=(•̪●)=ε/̵͇̿̿/'̿'̿ ̿ ●▬▬๑۩۩๑▬▬● if you have an answer and / or if you have any little picture things, can you post them please? :D thanks!
