Wingdings Translator
Calculate the matching Wingdings symbol and Unicode code from a selected character. Wingdings Translator helps designers, educators, content creators, and accessibility users convert familiar characters into visual symbols.
Highlights
- Convert letters, numbers, and symbols into their matching Wingdings characters.
- View the translated Wingdings symbol instantly.
- Identify the Unicode code point for each symbol.
- Copy symbols for use in designs, documents, and digital content.
- Useful for designers, educators, content creators, and accessibility users.

How Wingdings Translator Works?
The Wingdings Translator uses a predefined character-mapping table rather than a numerical conversion formula. You select one supported source character, such as a letter from A–Z, a digit from 0–9, or one of the available symbols. The calculator then looks up the corresponding Wingdings symbol and its associated Unicode code point.
In this representation, is the selected source character, is the mapped Wingdings symbol, and is the Unicode code point reported for that symbol. Each supported input has one stored mapping, so the result is deterministic for the same character.
| Stage | What happens | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Select input | Choose a letter, number, or supported symbol. | A source character such as A, 5, or ? |
| 2. Find mapping | The calculator searches its Wingdings character table. | The matching symbol record |
| 3. Display outputs | The mapped symbol and Unicode code point are shown. | A copyable symbol and character identifier |
The available selections include uppercase letters A through Z, digits 0 through 9, and the symbols !, ?, @, #, $, %, &, *, +, -, and =. The translator identifies the character according to its stored mapping; it does not calculate a new glyph from the character's alphabetic position or ASCII value.
Practical Use Cases
Graphic designers can use the translator to identify the Wingdings symbol associated with a selected character when preparing decorative headings, labels, icons, or typographic layouts.
Educators and students can explore legacy symbol fonts and compare ordinary keyboard characters with their mapped visual representations in lessons about typography, character encoding, or computing history.
Content creators can quickly find a symbol for creative documents, presentations, invitations, and visual emphasis before copying it into a compatible design or word-processing application.
Accessibility and documentation users can inspect the reported Unicode code point to help identify a translated character when documenting digital text, testing rendering behavior, or communicating symbol information to technical teams.
Software developers can use the code-point result as a reference when investigating character display, font compatibility, or the relationship between legacy font mappings and digitally identified characters.
Accuracy and Limitations
The calculator is accurate for the characters and mappings included in its internal lookup table, and the same selected input will return the same stored symbol and Unicode code point. It supports only the listed uppercase letters, digits, and symbols; lowercase letters, punctuation not shown in the selector, accented characters, and arbitrary text are not available. Wingdings is a legacy symbol font, so the visible glyph depends on whether the receiving device or application has a compatible font and renders the mapping as intended. A reported Unicode code point identifies the calculator's mapped character, but it does not guarantee that every application will display an identical Wingdings-style appearance.
