Okay, I must be missing something, but what exactly is the wingdings font supposed to do?  It doesn't do anything for me--it just appears as Times.  Am I supposed to do something to get it to work?

I don't know why it doesn't work, but it is a bad idea to make it available here in a webapplication. Since windings is a non-unicode font, the characters will not be shown on a computer wich hasn't installed the windingsfont (eg a linuxmachine). Those computers wil show something different. It uses the ascii table, but shows different characters on the screeen.

eg the spectacles are ascii code 36, wich should show a dollar sign.

Okay, this is weird Koen. Obviously I made this post after starting to look into symbols, etc. Here is how your reply to my other post came out in Outlook--you obviously wrote it in wingdings--although online it appears as Times.  I guess this proves your point--only in reverse! If it doesn't work in the html editor, it might just show up on someone's computer.

LOL འཛུམ་དྲག་

Very weird indeed. In my Thunderbird it was a Times New Roman kind of font. I'm using Win2K, so wingdings is installed.

I just hope you don't suspect me from sending you viral things མིག་ཁྱབ་. This is probably what they call a coded message.
