Wingdings is a series ofdingbatfonts that render letters as a variety of symbols. They were originally developed in 1990 byMicrosoft by combiningglyphs fromLucida Icons, Arrows, and Stars licensed fromCharles Bigelow andKris Holmes.[1] Certain versions of the font's copyright string include attribution to Type Solutions, Inc., the maker of a tool used tohint the font.
None of the characters were mapped toUnicode at the time; however, Unicode approved the addition of many symbols in the Wingdings andWebdings fonts in Unicode 7.0.[2][3]

Wingdings is aTrueType dingbat font included in all versions ofMicrosoft Windows from version 3.1[4] until Windows Vista/Server 2008, and also in a number of application packages of that era.[5]
The Wingdings trademark is owned by Microsoft,[4] and the design and glyph order was awarded U.S.Design Patent D341848 in 1993.[6] The patent expired in 2007. In many other countries, a Design Patent would be called aregistered design. It is registration of a design to deter imitation, rather than a claim of a novel invention.
This font contains many largely recognized shapes and gestures as well as some recognized world symbols, such as theStar of David, the symbols of thezodiac,index or manicule signs, hand gestures, and obscureampersands.

In 1992, only days after the release of Windows 3.1, it was discovered that "NYC" (New York City) in Wingdings was rendered as askull and crossbones symbol,Star of David, andthumbs up gesture. This was often said to be anantisemitic message referencing New York'slarge Jewish community.[7] Microsoft strongly denied this was intentional, and insisted that the final arrangement of the glyphs in the font was largely random. "NYC" in the later-releasedWebdings font was intentionally rendered as eye, heart, and city skyline, referring to theI Love New York logo.[8]
AfterSeptember 11, 2001, an email was circulated claiming that "Q33 NY", which it claims is the flight number of the first plane to hit theTwin Towers, in Wingdings would bring up a character sequence of a plane flying eastwards, followed by two rectangular paper sheet icons which may be interpreted as skyscrapers, followed by the skull and crossbones symbol and the Star of David.[7] This is ahoax; the flight numbers of the airplanes that hit the towers wereAA11 andUA175; the tail numbers were N334AA and N612UA.[9]
