Select a tile to copy its symbol. Each tile also shows the keyboard key and a plain-English description. The chart includes bundled symbol fonts and vector fallbacks so rare Wingdings glyphs remain visible across devices.

A NOTE FROM THE VOID

W.D. Gaster — Wingdings Decoded

02 / 03

W.D. Gaster is a hidden and mysterious figure in Undertale, the role-playing game released in 2015. Players encounter references to him through rare events and text rather than a conventional character introduction. Entry Number Seventeen is a secret log-like passage displayed in uppercase Wingdings; access to it involves unusual game conditions or debug tools. Its authorship and meaning remain open to interpretation. If you came looking for a Gaster translator, this section pairs six selected lines from Entry Number Seventeen with their decoded text.

A BRIEF HISTORY

What is Wingdings?

03 / 03

Wingdings is a symbol font, also called a dingbat font: instead of drawing ordinary letters, it displays pictures such as hands, arrows, stars, zodiac signs, and geometric shapes. These symbols were designed for visual use in documents and interfaces, where a small picture can stand in for an icon or decorative mark. Wingdings became one of the best-known symbol fonts included with Microsoft software.

Microsoft’s font history traces Wingdings to three symbol collections originally called Lucida Icons, Lucida Arrows, and Lucida Stars. Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes designed those collections to complement the Lucida text fonts. Microsoft reorganized and released them as the Wingdings family in 1992. Microsoft’s font notes list Wingdings, Wingdings 2, and Wingdings 3 as separate fonts.

This page covers 62 mapped keys from Wingdings 1: uppercase and lowercase A–Z, plus the digits 0–9. It does not include punctuation or the separate Wingdings 2 and 3 sets. If you are looking for a key that is missing from this chart, it may belong to one of those other fonts or to punctuation outside this translator’s current mapping.

Many symbols used in Wingdings and Webdings have Unicode code points, so they can be copied and shared as text without installing the original font. The Unicode mapping proposal documents source glyphs and corresponding Unicode characters. Unicode support does not guarantee that every device has a matching glyph, however; a symbol’s appearance can vary by operating system, browser, and available fonts.

Wingdings is different from Webdings, another Microsoft symbol font released later. Although some images look similar, the fonts use different key-to-symbol mappings. A key that produces one picture in Wingdings may produce another in Webdings.

Wingdings is also associated with the hidden Entry Number Seventeen text in Undertale. The passage appears in uppercase Wingdings, and its relationship to W.D. Gaster is commonly discussed by players. The game leaves parts of that mystery open to interpretation. This free Wingdings translator converts supported English letters and numbers to symbols and back. Use the chart to look up a key, or try the Gaster section to read selected lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I translate Wingdings back to English?

Paste mapped Wingdings symbols into the box at the top of the page. The translator detects them automatically and converts them back to English. You can also use the chart to decode a message symbol by symbol.

Is there a Wingdings 2 translator?

Wingdings 2 and Wingdings 3 are separate fonts with different symbol sets. This page translates 62 mapped characters from Wingdings 1; it does not currently translate Wingdings 2 or 3.

What is the Wingdings font used for?

Wingdings is used for decorative symbols in documents and presentations, and for puzzles or messages. It is a symbol font, so supported keys display pictures instead of ordinary letters.

What is W.D. Gaster Wingdings?

A hidden text called Entry Number Seventeen appears in uppercase Wingdings in Undertale and is commonly associated with W.D. Gaster. See the Gaster section above for selected lines and their decoded text.

How do I type Wingdings on my keyboard?

In Word or PowerPoint, select text and choose the Wingdings font to display supported characters as symbols. On this page, no font installation is needed: type in the translator box instead.

Can I copy the Wingdings symbols?

Yes. Use Copy result after translating, or select a character tile in the chart. The symbol is copied as plain text for pasting into a chat, document, or other app.

Why do I see boxes instead of Wingdings symbols?

This page bundles a symbol font and vector fallbacks for the chart. Copied Unicode symbols may still look different in another app if that app lacks a matching glyph.

Is Wingdings the same as Webdings?

No. Wingdings and Webdings are different Microsoft symbol fonts with different key-to-symbol mappings. The same keyboard key can produce a different symbol in each font.
