Anyone tried automating turning an image (like a photo) into Unicode code points that mimic the photo like old newspaper halftoning? https://drewish.com/projects/unicoder/ looks interesting, the photo I uploaded translated to super long lines, or else looked best when the font size was tiny.

If no fonts/glyphs is OK, this looks like it can be automated:
