Script to create 2022 on linux terminal with a mask on the 0.

Here is a script you can run on the linux terminal to generate 2022 on the terminal using any charachter you want. With the charachter 0 covered partiall to indicate the need for mask in the new year too.

save the above script say as 2022.sh and execute it on the terminal using $ bash 2022.sh What character do you want to use

2022 should appear on the terminal in random colors as shown in the figure below. Note the partial shading of the charachter 0 to indicate the mask.
