Microsoft sends messages on Wingdings Font
I dont know if this has been posted before but..... The Wingdings Font included with Windows has a history of controversy. In 1992, only days after the release of Windows 3.1, it was discovered that the character sequence "NYC" in Wingdings was rendered as Skull and crossbones symbol, Star of David, and thumbs up gesture. This could be interpreted as a message of approval of killing Jews, especially those from New York City. Microsoft strongly denied this was intentional, and insisted that the final arrangement of the glyphs in the font was largely random. Various other combinations of Wingings characters are alleged to have special significance by conspiracy theorists, but these results are likely purely coincidental. |

I would doubt it was set up to be used for any sinister reasons. People will see and believe what they want to believe in anything. Look at the Q33 thing that was allegedly the tail number from one of the planes used on 9/11, it turned out to be untrue and of no significance what so ever.
It is a fun font simple really |
