'''Webdings''' is a [[TrueType]] [[dingbat]] [[typeface]] developed in 1997. It was initially distributed with [[Internet Explorer]] 4.0, then as part of [[Core fonts for the Web]], and is included in all versions of [[Microsoft Windows]] since Windows 98. All of the [[Pictogram|pictographic]] Webding [[glyph]]s that were not unifiable with existing [[Unicode]] characters were added to the Unicode Standard when version 7.0 was released in June 2014.<ref>{{Cite web | title=Unicode 7.0.0 | url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode7.0.0/ | publisher=[[Unicode Consortium]] | access-date=2014-06-27 }}</ref>

There are some "categories" of symbols in Webdings, i.e., groups of similar symbols. Symbol trends like this in the font include weather icons, land with different structures built on top, vehicles and [[Information and communications technology|ICT]]. Symbols which are the Webdings equivalent of characters not available on an English keyboard also exist in the font (for example, the dove and Earth symbols).

An unusual character in the font is the "man in business suit levitating". According to [[Vincent Connare]], who designed the font, the character was intended as a nod to the logo of the British [[ska]] record label [[2 Tone Records]].<ref name="veix">{{cite web|last1=Veix|first1=Joe|title=The secret history of the 'Man in Business Suit Levitating' emoji|url=http://www.newsweek.com/2016/05/06/secret-ska-history-man-business-suit-levitating-emoji-442192.html|website=Newsweek|access-date=2 December 2016|date=30 March 2016}}</ref> The character has since been adopted as an [[emoji]]: {{unichar|1F574|MAN IN BUSINESS SUIT LEVITATING|nlink=MAN IN BUSINESS SUIT LEVITATING}}.

Connare also designed the lightning bolt symbol to resemble the one on the cover of the [[David Bowie]] album ''[[Aladdin Sane]]''.<ref name="veix"/>

Following the [[Wingdings#Controversy|controversy]] over possible anti-Semitic messages in the [[Wingdings]] font, Connare intentionally rendered the Webdings character sequence "NYC" as an eye, a heart, and a city skyline, referring to the [[I Love New York]] logo.<ref name="wingdings">[http://archive.wired.com/techbiz/media/news/2001/09/47042 MS Denies Wingding Thing, Again|Wired Magazine]</ref><ref name="veix"/>

== Vincent Connare ==
The man who created Webdings also created several other fonts including [[Comic Sans]] and [[Trebuchet MS]]. Webdings was created due to the demand of the new digital age; hence Connare was told to draft up a font that was "creative," "friendly" and "hand-drawn".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rath |first=Kyle |date=2020-01-02 |title=Type-Cast? Insights on the Rhetorical Fluidity of Iconic Type |url=https://doi.org/10.1080/00043389.2020.1721164 |journal=De Arte |volume=55 |issue=1 |pages=76–103 |doi=10.1080/00043389.2020.1721164 |s2cid=219407154 |issn=0004-3389|hdl=2263/82239 |hdl-access=free }}</ref> Jennifer Niederst, author of "Web Design in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference," talks about Connare's work with type, including Webdings. Niederst states in her book, "These fonts have generous character spacing, large x-heights, and open, rounded features that make them better for online reading," which further comments on the kind of fonts Connare was told to create.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Niederst |first1=Jennifer |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=358rxGp1NccC&q=Vincent+Connare+Webdings&pg=PA35 |title=Web Design in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference |last2=Robbins |first2=Jennifer Niederst |date=2001 |publisher="O'Reilly Media, Inc." |isbn=978-0-596-00196-4 |language=en}}</ref>

== Opportunities ==
People such as Karl Pentzlin have proposed that dingbat typefaces, such as Webdings, be encoded to Apple devices or more handheld devices in general.<ref>[http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/WG2/docs/n4270.pdf Preliminary Proposal to encode Ornamental Dingbats present on Apple devices]</ref> There are also organizations and individuals such as Michal Suignard who have created proposals for Webdings to be encoded in the "international character encoding standard Unicode".<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Suignard |first=Michel |date=2012-11-06 |title=Status of encoding of Wingdings and Webdings Symbols |url=https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8mq4c4qt |language=en}}</ref> Both of these proposal examples also include other dingbat typefaces such as Wingdings.

Webdings has also been used to help create artwork. In the case of Pat Boas, it has been stated that in Boas's work titled, ''Abstraction Machine'', she "began by typing 'poison' in the font called 'Webdings,'..." which helped Boas to create a painting that challenged the audience to de-code its meaning.<ref name=":0">[https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a6376891f318d9b88fb3bfa/t/5e7286cf5bd2511c3f0dc368/1584563938959/Boas_Press_e.pdf Pat Boas Encryption Machine]</ref> Boas also notes how the artwork captures a dialogue between the Webdings typeface, which is based in logic, and the handpainted artwork, which is "sensuous".<ref name=":0" />
