eliminates that one. :) fortunatly, the number 3 looks just like the
capitol version of what we pronouce Z in english.... Unfortuantly, the
letter prounced as a D is next to impossible to translate to ascii,
unless you want a large font. and >|< is as close as we get to another
letter, (not sounding like anything in english)

   _/\_                 /\              _____
  / `` \ or maybe     _/__\_             | |
                     /      \ (not A)    J | (about as small as it gets)

Anyway, as you can see, one-liners are impossible.

Besides, I found out recently that the name IS polish, so all this is 
moot as far as that name is concerned.  But as far as the rest goes,
writing the cyrillic alphabet in one-line ascii is about as easy or 
possible as writing the japeneese or aribic letters in one-line ascii.
