Why the Wingdings Alphabet Is Not a Cipher
Wingdings is a symbol font rather than a secret language. A font changes the glyph displayed for a character position; it does not create new vocabulary or grammar. That is why a reference chart can make symbol text much easier to interpret.
How to Read the Table
Start from the left when you know the letter and want its portable symbol. When you see a symbol elsewhere, scan the symbol column to find the corresponding letter used by this converter.
Uppercase, Lowercase and Numbers
This A–Z table documents the current portable letter mapping used by the site. We have not labeled digits and punctuation as complete Wingdings mappings yet because those mappings need separate verification before being presented as an exact reference.
The Symbols People Ask For Most
Hands, arrows, stars, check marks, telephone and envelope icons are common reasons people explore dingbat fonts. Their exact location depends on the font family, so do not assume a symbol in Wingdings has the same character position in Webdings or Wingdings 2/3.
Reading Wingdings Without a Converter
For short strings, manual comparison is simple: identify the source font, inspect one glyph at a time, and match it against the appropriate reference. For supported portable symbols, the Wingdings to English translator is faster.
