Wingdings Translator - Convert Text to Wingdings Symbols

Our Wingdings translator converts your regular text into Wingdings symbols in real time. Unlike simply changing the font in a word processor, this tool maps each character to its actual Unicode symbol equivalent, so you can copy and paste Wingdings text into any app, website, or social media platform and it will display correctly regardless of whether the recipient has the Wingdings font installed.

How the Wingdings Translator Works

The tool offers two output modes. The Display output shows your text rendered in the actual Wingdings font family using CSS font-family, giving you an accurate preview of how the symbols look. The Unicode output maps each character to its corresponding Unicode code point from the Dingbats, Arrows, Miscellaneous Symbols, and other Unicode blocks. These Unicode characters are universal text symbols that display correctly on all modern devices and platforms without requiring the Wingdings font.

Supported Wingdings Font Variants

Wingdings is the original font, featuring hands (pointing, victory, thumbs up), arrows, checkmarks, crosses, stars, circles, squares, zodiac symbols, and religious icons. Wingdings 2 adds circled numbers, additional arrows, and more geometric shapes. Wingdings 3 focuses on arrows and triangles in many directions and weights. Webdings contains modern web-related icons including people, weather symbols, transportation, electronics, and activity icons.

Using the Reverse Mode

Toggle the Reverse Mode switch to decode Wingdings back to regular text. Paste Wingdings symbols and the translator will show you the original ASCII characters. This is helpful when you receive a message written in Wingdings and need to read it in plain text.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wingdings is a dingbat font created by Microsoft in 1990. Instead of displaying letters and numbers, Wingdings maps standard keyboard characters to decorative symbols, arrows, shapes, and icons. It was originally included with Windows 3.1 and has been bundled with every version of Windows since. There are three Wingdings variants (Wingdings, Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3) plus a related font called Webdings.
The easiest way to type Wingdings is to use our translator above. Simply type your text and the tool converts it to Wingdings symbols in real time. Alternatively, you can type text in any word processor (like Microsoft Word), select it, and change the font to Wingdings. However, this method only works visually in that document and won't paste correctly into other apps. Our translator outputs actual Unicode symbols that can be pasted anywhere.
If you simply change a font to Wingdings in a word processor, copying and pasting will revert the text to normal letters. Our Wingdings translator solves this by converting your text into actual Unicode symbol characters that look like Wingdings and can be pasted into any app, website, or social media platform while preserving the symbol appearance.
Each font maps the same keyboard characters to different sets of symbols. Wingdings (the original) includes hands, arrows, checkmarks, shapes, religious symbols, and zodiac signs. Wingdings 2 adds more arrows, numbers in circles, and additional shapes. Wingdings 3 focuses heavily on arrows and triangles in many orientations. Webdings contains web-related icons like globes, computers, weather symbols, and people figures.
