THE LETTER24 Dingbats and pictograms
THE DERISIVE TERM DINGBATS refers to typographic glyphs or symbols that have no relationship to a typeface (unlike analphabetic symbols such as an asterisk or a dagger). Dingbats are often pictograms that represent pointing fingers, scissors, checkmarks, and symbols for objects such as a telephone, plane, church, etc. A font of dingbats functions as a typeface does—they flow with the text as it is moved or edited (which is why dingbats can be more useful than simple vector-based illustrations).
