How To Use Wingdings and Webdings<\/h2>\n

If you’re running Windows look no further than the Character Map<\/strong> application. Don’t go off Googling it to download though, it’s already part of Windows <\/strong>(yep, it’s still in Windows 10 too).<\/p>\n

[Mac users look for Character Palette which is in both Finder and Fontbook – anyone know how you do this in Linux?]<\/p>\n

To find Character Map, just type ‘character’ in your Start\/Search box (or Start – Run) and it will appear. You can always right click on the program name and Send To\/Desktop to create a shortcut if you think you’ll forget what it’s called in future.<\/p>\n
