Wingdings alphabet: A–Z, a–z and 0–9
The Wingdings alphabet has 62 symbols: 26 for capital letters, 26 for lowercase letters and 10 for digits. Capital and lowercase letters map to different symbols, so "A" is ✌ but "a" is ♋.

Capital letters use hands, faces and religious symbols (☜ ☞ ☝ ☟ ✋ ☺ ☹ ✞ ✡ ☪). Lowercase letters a–i use the zodiac signs ♋–♓, and the rest use geometric shapes. Digits use office pictures: folders, documents, an hourglass, a keyboard and a mouse.
Will Wingdings symbols display on every device?
Most Wingdings symbols display on current phones and computers, but symbols without a colour-emoji version can show as empty boxes. The 7 most likely to fail are 🙰 (j), 🙵 (k), 🞐 (p), ⮹ (y), 🕆 (U), 🏱 (P) and 🖮 (7). They come from the Ornamental Dingbats, Geometric Shapes Extended, Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows, and Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs blocks, which many default fonts cover only partly. Some symbols, such as 👌 (B), 👍 (C) and 💣 (M), display as colour emoji. The guide why fancy text shows boxes explains missing-glyph boxes in detail.
How many characters is Wingdings text?
Wingdings text has the same number of Unicode characters as the input, but emoji-range symbols take 2 UTF-16 units each. On X, every Wingdings symbol weighs 2 toward the 280-character limit, so "Hello" (☟♏●●□) counts as 10, and a 140-letter message fills a post.

Wingdings replaces letters with pictures. To keep letters readable but change their shape, the Russian font generator swaps Latin letters for look-alike Cyrillic, Greek and Japanese characters, and the mocking text generator alternates capitals. Single symbols such as arrows, hearts and stars can be copied from the aesthetic symbols collection.
Wingdings questions
Who made the Wingdings font?
Wingdings was designed by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes and released by Microsoft in 1990. It is a symbol font: typing a letter in Wingdings shows a picture, such as a hand, a bomb or a skull, instead of the letter.
Why does Wingdings text from this page work without the Wingdings font?
The translator outputs real Unicode symbols that look like the Wingdings glyphs. Unicode 7.0 (2014) added most of the missing Wingdings and Webdings pictures as standard characters, so the text keeps its look on phones and in apps that never had the Wingdings font installed.
What does ☜☠☹☺ mean in Wingdings?
Each symbol stands for one letter: ☜ is E, ☠ is N, ☹ is L and ☺ is J. Paste any Wingdings sequence into the second tool to decode it; ☜☠☹☺ decodes to "ENLJ".
