The classic three-line bunny

(")_(")Where the copy-paste bunny came from
The three-line rabbit above became famous in the 2000s as a forum and email signature. It usually came with a line of text telling readers to copy the bunny into their own signature to help him achieve world domination. It is a chain letter that nobody minded, and it is why so many people still recognise the shape: two ears in brackets, a face with an apostrophe nose, and two paws in quotes.
The ears are drawn with a backslash and a slash inside parentheses. Doubling the underscore, as in (\__/), gives a wider head; a single underscore, as in (\_/), makes the smaller, younger-looking version.
Bunny variations to copy
A bunny holding a sign is the most useful variation, because you can write your own message on the sign:
(\_/)
( •_•)
/ > your text here
The face uses the Unicode bullet •, which shows up in almost every font today. If a place only accepts plain ASCII, use ( o_o) instead. Other small rabbits:
(\(\ (\_/) (\ /)
( -.-) (o.o ) ( . .)
o_(")(") (> <) c(")(")
The first one is asleep; the last one is a common "bunny with a tail" pose where the c is the tail.
Making your own rabbit from a picture
Long ears are what make a rabbit read as a rabbit at low resolution, so choose a photo where both ears are visible and upright, against a plain background. At 50 characters wide, which is how the tool is set on this page, the ears come out two or three characters wide, enough to survive the conversion.
If the result looks like a blob, raise Contrast before you change anything else, and try Sobel Edge Detection: it draws the outline with / \ | and - characters, which suits ears very well.
