How the Wingdings translator works
Wingdings is a font Microsoft introduced in the early 1990s that shows pictures — hands, zodiac signs, envelopes, clocks — instead of letters. Type “A” in Wingdings and you get a peace sign. The original Wingdings appearance depends on the Wingdings font being installed. If that font formatting is lost, the underlying text remains ordinary letters.
This translator approximates the classic Wingdings mapping with Unicode symbols. For each supported letter, digit or punctuation mark, it substitutes a Unicode look-alike — for example ✌ for A and 👌 for B — and adds a text-presentation selector where useful. The result is copyable text, but exact glyph shape and emoji/text presentation still depend on the receiving app and fonts.
The mapping works both ways. Press swap and paste symbols into the left panel to decode them; variation selectors are stripped automatically. The alphabet below shows every mapping, and tapping a key copies its symbol.
About the symbols: The mapping approximates classic Wingdings with Unicode look-alikes. A few symbols (🕆 🗏) may be missing from older fonts, and hand symbols can render as color emoji in some apps.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the real Wingdings font?
No. Wingdings is a font that maps character positions to pictograms. This tool uses Unicode look-alikes for those pictograms, so the result can be copied into many text fields without installing Wingdings. It is an approximation, not the original font.
How do I decode Wingdings?
Press the swap button, then paste the symbols into the left panel. Each symbol that matches the classic mapping turns back into its letter.
Why do some symbols show as boxes or color emoji?
A few glyphs, such as 🕆 and 🗏, come from newer Unicode blocks that older devices lack. Hand and face symbols may appear as color emoji; the translator adds a text-style selector to discourage that, but apps can override it.
Which characters can be translated?
Letters A–Z and a–z, digits 0–9, and common punctuation like ! ? . , and quotes. Spaces and other characters pass through unchanged.
