Where to find Wingdings symbols into 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.
