Webdings and Wingdings Symbol Collection : An analysis Asmus Freytag and Michael Everson Disclaimer This is not a proposal document, nor a proposed mapping to private use codes Introduction The series of Webdings and Wingdings fonts have been available with Microsoft Windows for many years now, making these symbols available to a very large set of users. Many of these symbols have been encoded in the Unicode Standard. This document represents the status quo as of 2001, even though this PDF file was created much later. In the meantime a number of characters from these symbol sets have been encoded, or are being proposed for encoding by others as of the time of this writing. The primary purpose of the document was to identify both encoded and unencoded symbols; to provide the Unicode mapping for encoded symbols; and to provide identification of unencoded symbols—all using the framework of Unicode code charts, hence the assignment of temporary private use code points to allow a quick and dirty font binding for the purpose of document generation. Otherwise, the characters are listed in the order they occur in the given fonts. Contents The document lists the symbols from each font in the collection at an arbitrary code range in private use space, in order of the symbols in the font. * If a symbol was already encoded in Unicode at the time of creation of the listing, that character is identified by both its Unicode character name, as well as “≡” followed by the character code and lower case name. * If a character is visually related to an existing character (or another character in the document) it is given a descriptive name and marked with the character “≈” followed by a tag, for example “black”, which describes the visual relation to the other character, and finally, the character name for the other character. The character names in this document are therefore either the name of an actual character in the Unicode standard, or a name as it
