If you are using the Microsoft operating system it comes with many standard fonts. Wingdings is one of of those fonts that comes with the Windows package. It is not a letter or a number. It is a set of small images. Webdings is another font that has been recently added to the windows package. It also is made up of small graphical images rather than regular characters.

If you type in NYC (New York City) using the Windings font you see these symbols displayed on the left. The skull and cross-bones, the star of Judaism, and the thumbs-up have been collectively interpreted as an anti-semitic message: Death to Jews, OK.

You probably think that is just a coincidence right. Well, when you type in the letters NYC using the Webdings font, you get the result to the right. An eye, a heart, and a Manhatten skyline: I Love New York. This rather interesting result, may not be the coincidence that it seems. Some people think that Microsoft's font designers that were responsible for Webdings knew what NYC spelled out in Wingdings, and purposely assigned the above symbols to the characters N, Y, and C in the new font they were creating. You Decide!
