I came across a YouTube whose title was made of letters that were not part of its logo. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZkgIjJlsxA (it appears they letters have been removed, or YouTube disabled it). These letters are considered part of the text and provide a huge advantage over other videos in terms of visibility.
How did the makers of this video create these giant letters?
Is it a special font, or perhaps a hack using some foreign writing system?

It is done using block element characters that look like they spell another word:
█▬█ █ ▀█▀
It is actually an ASCII art with the following characters: █ ▬ ▀
It can't be used to spell all letters of the alphabet, but you can try. Other characters can help as well.
Here I just wrote the first part of your username: █ ╔╦╗
I gave up because the R is hard to draw, but I am sure there are some online generators out there.
I am not sure YouTube approves of using such tricks, though.
