About Wingdings 2
Wingdings 2 is the office-work sibling of the classic Wingdings font. Released by Microsoft alongside Office, it trades the hands and zodiac signs of Wingdings 1 for a working set: light and bold checkmarks, script and boxed X marks, ballot boxes for voting lists, clocks for schedules, and pens and stamps for approvals. If you have ever received a Word checklist with ticked boxes, there is a good chance it was typed in Wingdings 2.
Because the same keys map to different symbols than in Wingdings 1, decoding requires knowing which font was used. A quick heuristic: if the message decodes into gibberish with classic Wingdings, try this page — and vice versa. Our main translator lets you switch fonts without losing your text.
For the practical how-to — inserting real checkmarks into Word and Excel — see the Wingdings checkmark guide. Related fonts: Wingdings 3 (arrows) and Webdings (web icons).
Frequently Asked Questions
▸What is Wingdings 2?
Wingdings 2 is the second font in Microsoft's Wingdings family, included with Microsoft Office. It reuses the same keyboard positions as Wingdings 1 but swaps in a different picture set: checkmarks, X marks, ballot boxes, clocks, pens and enclosed letters. Use this translator to convert text with it in either direction.
▸How do I type a checkmark in Wingdings 2?
In the actual Wingdings 2 font, the capital P key produces a checkmark (✓) and capital R produces a check inside a box (☑). On this site you can simply copy either symbol from the chart below, or type P on the translator with Wingdings 2 selected.
▸Is Wingdings 2 the same as Wingdings?
No. They are separate fonts with different symbol sets mapped to the same keys. The letter J is a smiling face in Wingdings 1 but a hand-held pen in Wingdings 2. Decoding a message with the wrong font gives wrong text, which is why this site keeps the fonts separate.
▸Where is Wingdings 2 installed?
It ships with Microsoft Office on Windows and Mac, and with Windows itself on many versions. If a document uses Wingdings 2 and you don't have it, the text falls back to plain letters — that's the moment people usually reach for this translator.
