[Python] Plot characters on a graph using matplotlib without spaces

I want to plot some data, but the problem that I am facing is that I am unable to plot the data without spaces between them.

The data should print out a letter like this:



My code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

data = [
{'x': 0, 'char': '█', 'y': 0},
{'x': 0, 'char': '█', 'y': 1},
{'x': 0, 'char': '█', 'y': 2},
{'x': 1, 'char': '▀', 'y': 1},
{'x': 1, 'char': '▀', 'y': 2},
{'x': 2, 'char': '▀', 'y': 1},
{'x': 2, 'char': '▀', 'y': 2},
{'x': 3, 'char': '▀', 'y': 2},
]
# Create the plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# Plot each character
for item in data:
ax.text(item['x'], item['y'], item['char'],
fontsize=14, family='monospace', ha='center', va='bottom')

# Compute axis limits
x_vals = [d['x'] for d in data]
y_vals = [d['y'] for d in data]
ax.set_xlim(min(x_vals) - 0.5, max(x_vals) + 0.5)
ax.set_ylim(min(y_vals) - 0.5, max(y_vals) + 0.5)

# Remove padding and axes
ax.axis('off')

# # Remove margins
plt.subplots_adjust(left=0, right=1, top=1, bottom=0)
plt.margins(0, 0)

plt.show()


The result of the code:



How do I plot the points without the large spaces?
