How to Put Graphics in Posts?

http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=177143

Like in the linked thread…

The “thumbs down” or the “bomb”??

Like this:
[FONT=wingdings]A[font]
Except with the / at the end of font.
Works for all numbers and letters.

I would’ve told you which letter specifically corresponds to the bomb and the thumbs down, but that thread is closed and therefore I cannot quote to see.

A

Yeah, I tried to quote from that thread with the same result. Thanks.

If anyone has a list…

:smack:
I just realized, I think those icons you wish to have are webdings.
So it would be
[webding]A[webding]
I think.

I’m confused, don’t know what I did wrong.
Sorry.
