Wingdings 1 Alphabet Chart: A–Z Character Map

Look up uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and common punctuation in Wingdings 1. Click any character card to copy a practical Unicode equivalent.

Interactive Wingdings Character Map

Each card pairs a keyboard character with its Wingdings 1 symbol and a copyable Unicode substitute. Select a card to copy the substitute, or match a symbol by shape and read the original key above it. For a complete word or sentence, use the Wingdings translator.

What This Wingdings Alphabet Chart Includes

This reference places uppercase A–Z, lowercase a–z, digits 0–9, and the included punctuation keys in one interactive grid. Unlike a static chart image, every card can be selected to copy a practical Unicode equivalent. That makes the page useful both as a visual lookup table and as a quick source for symbols that can be pasted into many modern apps.

Each card separates three things that are easy to confuse: the keyboard character, the Wingdings 1 glyph it produces, and a Unicode substitute for copying. The substitute is chosen for portability; it may not be an exact visual duplicate of the original font glyph.

What Is the Wingdings 1 Alphabet?

Wingdings 1 is a Microsoft symbol font released as part of the Wingdings font family in 1992. Instead of drawing ordinary letter shapes, it displays pictograms such as hands, office objects, folders, writing tools, geometric marks and astrological signs. The chart above shows how standard keyboard characters map to those Wingdings 1 glyphs.

How to Use the Wingdings Alphabet Chart

  1. To identify a symbol: compare its complete shape with the grid, then read the keyboard character displayed above the match.
  2. To encode one character: find the letter, number, or punctuation key you need and check the symbol shown on its card.
  3. To copy and paste a symbol: select the card, then preview the copied Unicode equivalent in the destination app because rendering can vary.

For a screenshot, scan, or printed puzzle, work through the symbols one at a time and preserve visible spaces. If the source is selectable text, the Wingdings translator is faster for processing a complete word or sentence.

Wingdings Letters, Numbers and Punctuation

A Wingdings alphabet is broader than A–Z. Uppercase keys include many of the font's best-known pictograms, while lowercase keys introduce another set of signs and geometric forms. Number and punctuation keys map to additional document, computer and communication symbols. Do not assume that changing the case of a letter will produce the same picture.

The visible shape is also important when decoding. Two symbols may share a general subject but differ in direction, outline or fill. Match the complete glyph rather than guessing from its name alone. If a symbol is missing from this chart, it may come from Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3 or Webdings; the searchable Wingdings symbols library lets you compare the supported families.

Wingdings Is a Font, Not a Language

Wingdings does not translate English into a separate spoken language. In an editable document, the underlying content is still made from ordinary keyboard characters; the selected font changes how those characters look. Changing the text to a standard font can therefore reveal the original letters. An image contains only pixels, so it usually requires manual comparison with a character chart.

Original Glyphs and Unicode Equivalents

Native Wingdings output depends on the Wingdings font being installed and applied to the original text. The copy action on this chart uses a practical Unicode character so the result can travel more easily between browsers, phones and social platforms. These Unicode characters are useful substitutes, but they are not guaranteed to reproduce every proprietary Wingdings glyph exactly.

A copied symbol can appear thinner, heavier, monochrome or emoji-like depending on the destination app and its fallback fonts. Preview it where it will be used. For exact document reproduction, keep the original key and apply Wingdings 1 in an application that provides the font.

Wingdings Alphabet FAQ

Does Wingdings have an A–Z alphabet?

Yes. Every A–Z key maps to a glyph, but the results are pictograms rather than alternate letter shapes. The chart records which keyboard character produces each symbol.

Are uppercase and lowercase characters the same?

No. Uppercase and lowercase characters can map to different glyphs, so preserve the original case when encoding and check it carefully when decoding.

How do I copy and paste a Wingdings symbol?

Select a character card to copy its practical Unicode equivalent, then paste it into the destination. Appearance and availability vary by app; native Wingdings glyphs require software with the original font installed.

How do I decode a complete message?

Use the online converter for editable text. For an image or printout, compare each glyph with this chart and record the corresponding key in order.
