Dingbats are decorative symbols originally designed as ornamental typeface characters. In the Unicode standard, they include an incredible variety of stars, crosses, arrows, checkmarks, and ornamental marks that add visual flair to any text content.
The term dingbat comes from the printing industry, where decorative elements were used to separate sections, mark important items, and embellish publications. Today, Unicode dingbats serve the same purpose in digital text—they are perfect for creating visual hierarchy, decorating social media bios, designing text-based borders, and adding emphasis to documents.
Our dingbats collection features stars and asterisks, crosses and marks, pointing hands, florettes and ornaments, snowflakes, and scissors and pencils. All symbols copy with one click and work universally across every platform, device, and operating system.
Pro tip: dingbats are perfect for creating visual separators between sections of text. A line of alternating dingbats like stars and florettes creates an elegant divider that works in documents, emails, and social media posts across all platforms.
