    Yes. A good idea since the Wingdings font, included in every copy of
    MS Windows for the last 15 years or so, is so ubiquitous (far more so
    than Zapf Dingbats or Emoji) these symbols are found all over the
    place.

    Would you include symbols in Wingdings 2, Wingdings 3, and Webdings as
    well as those in the original Wingdings?
