How to recognize the Wingdings font?
The Wingdings font has a variety of pictograms, but the common letters represent hands, astronomical symbols, crosses, squares, or circles.
In the video game Undertale (and its sequel Deltarune), the character W. D. Gaster has cryptic dialogue using Wingdings characters.
There are several other similar fonts:
— Webdings: Another symbol font created by Microsoft.
— Zapf Dingbats: An older creation also focused on pictograms.
— Symbol Font: A collection containing mathematical characters and icons.
Where to find Wingdings symbols in Unicode?
What is the Q33NY hoax?
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.
