As with ANSI art, SJIS art is sometimes used for animation.
Unlike Western ASCIIart, which is generally designed to be viewed with a monospace font, Shift_JIS art is designed around the proportional-width MS PGothic font supplied with Microsoft Windows, which is the default font for web sites in Japanese versions of Windows.
This dependency has led to the development of the free Mona Font, each character of which is the same width as its counterpart in MS PGothic, for the use of users of other operating systems such as Linux and non-Japanese-capable versions of Windows.

In economics, a shift in the demand or supply curve to the left or right on a price–quantity diagram.
A shift in the demand curve can arise because of a change in the income of buyers, a change in the price of other goods, or a change in tastes for the product.
A shift in the supply curve can arise because of change in the costs of production, a change in technology, or a change in price of other goods.
It is based on character sets defined within JIS standards JIS X 0201:1997 (for the single-byte characters) and JIS X 0208:1997 (for the double byte characters).
The lead bytes for the double byte characters are "shifted" around the 64 halfwidth katakana characters in the single-byte range 0xA0 to 0xDF.
There are two areas for expansion: Firstly, JIS X 0208 does not fill the whole 94x94 space encoded for it in Shift_JIS, therefore there is room for more characters here—these are really extensions to JIS X 0208 rather than to Shift_JIS itself.
ASCIIart is also used within the source code of computer programs for representation of company or product logos, and flow control or other diagrams.
There is another type of one-line ASCIIart that does not require the mental rotation of pictures, which is widely known in Japan as kaomoji (literally "face characters".) Traditionally, they are referred to as "ASCII face".
Most ASCIIart is created using a monospace font, where all characters are identical in width (Courier New is a popular font).
ASCIIart, an artistic medium relying primarily on computers for presentation, consists of pictures pieced together from characters (preferably from the 95 printable characters defined by ASCII).
The largest source of recent "JISArt" is the 2ch BBS, and characters and stories in these "JISArts" are gaining popularity and recognition with emergence of this BBS.
