    think about it, basically your text will be used as a raster for the image, and not the most simple one either, so you either have to make the text small beyond recgonition or you have to fill a whole screen with text and the text area cant be resized obviously

    then you have the choice to use anti aliasing (gray scale values on the characters) to help defining curves or an aliased raster of your symbol (just two alternating characters)

    you could use font weights but because it's for a web page you cant, so you have the choice between using different character sizes, differen font colors or a combination with background color to portray brightnes value from your image

    the only thing CSS will be doing is define the character styles so what you really want is a sort of ASCII art generator that can export html, there after you can find/replace the html tags with your CSS classes

    in short, not that hard to code but it's a horrible bad idea and will most likely look bad anyway
