What is the most successful design option for the appearance of a text bagel?

I am writing a roguelike with a text interface (most of it is already written and working). Now I decided to improve the appearance, since the game is with a text (console) interface, the whole appearance is formed from ASCII characters, the question is, please suggest the most suitable characters for the following items:
Chest
Tree
Earth
Void
Potion bottle
Tree leaf
Animal tooth
Helmet
Armor (on the body)
Ladder
I myself am far from design, that's why I'm asking.

Сундук                  $
Дерево                  o
Земля                   =
Пустота                 space
Бутылочка зелья         +
Лист дерева             `
Зуб животного           "
Шлем                    ^
Броня (на тело)         |
Лестница                #

One of the options.
If possible, add coloring with a simple color palette.
Since the choice of characters rests on the font that you will use for your game, then, if possible, put it on the review.
I can't find "beautiful" fonts for Rogalike-like games right now, so maybe someone can share links to them in this post.

Yes, and kagary 06 offered quite an option.
