Wingdings is the name given to a typographic font owned by Microsoft, which is installed by default on Windows operating systems. It contains, instead of the classic characters of the Latin alphabet or the ASCII code, a series of about 200 symbols/dingbats.
The conversion uses the substitution table from the Wingdings font. Each letter/character (ASCII code) is replaced by a symbol according to a correspondence alphabet (see below).
Example: DCODE is written (Wingding images) or ๐๐๐ณ๐โ (Unicode)
Translation into English requires the Wingdings font, each symbol is replaced by the corresponding letter.
Do not confuse Wingdings with other symbol fonts like Webdings or Symbol font.
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, conspirators noticed that the dingbats corresponding to Q33NY in the Wingdings police were respectively 'airplane, building, building, skull, Jewish star'. Q33 would be the name of the plane and NY would be NewYork.
This association is pure coincidence, and the symbols have since been modified by Microsoft to prevent the spread of fake news.
