Wingdings symbol translator
Paste any text and this tool maps each letter and digit to a Unicode symbol styled after Wingdings, Webdings and similar dingbat fonts — scissors, checkmarks, weather glyphs, pointing hands and more, depending on the set you choose. Turn on "Symbols to text" to run it the other way and decode a symbol string back into plain letters and numbers.
Three symbol sets are available: a "Wingdings-style" set built from the Dingbats block (scissors, hands, pencils, crosses), a "Webdings-style" set built from weather and telephone glyphs, and a "Symbol-style" set of pointing hands, peace signs and trigrams. Each set uses one glyph per letter, so uppercase and lowercase translate to the same symbol. "Keep spaces and punctuation" leaves spacing and punctuation marks untouched when on, and strips them when off. Characters the chosen set has no symbol for — accented letters, emoji, other scripts — are left as-is by default, or you can supply a replacement character. Switch the output to a list of code points (like U+2701) if you need the exact Unicode values rather than the rendered glyphs.
These are ordinary Unicode characters standing in for Wingdings, not the proprietary font itself, so how they render depends on the reader's operating system and installed fonts — a symbol that looks like a check mark on one device may look slightly different on another. The tool works on any length of text and updates as you type; a live count shows characters in, characters out, and how many were mapped.
Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you paste is uploaded anywhere. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or send the output straight back into the input to keep transforming it.
FAQ
Does this use the real Wingdings font?
No. Wingdings is a proprietary font, so this tool maps letters to ordinary Unicode symbols that look similar — scissors, checkmarks, hands and the like — which render in any browser without installing anything.
Why does the symbol look different on my phone than on my computer?
These are standard Unicode characters, and different operating systems draw them with different glyph designs. The character is the same; only its default look changes by device.
Can I convert the symbols back to normal text?
Yes. Switch the direction option to "Symbols to text" and paste the symbol string — it decodes back to lowercase letters and digits, as long as you pick the same symbol set it was encoded with.
What happens to accented letters or emoji?
By default they pass through unchanged, since the symbol sets only cover the 26 Latin letters and 10 digits. Set a replacement character in the options if you'd rather substitute them.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The translation runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your text never leaves your device.
