Symbol, or dingbat, typefaces consist of symbols (such as decorative bullets, clock faces, railroad timetable symbols, CD-index, or TV-channel enclosed numbers) rather than normal text characters. Common, widely used symbol typeface releases include [[Zapf Dingbats]] and [[Wingdings]], though many may be created internally by a publication for its own use and some typefaces may have a symbol range included.<ref name="Mercury Text: symbols">{{cite web|title=Mercury Text: symbols|url=http://www.typography.com/fonts/mercury-text/features/mercury-symbols|publisher=Hoefler & Frere-Jones|access-date=17 August 2015}}</ref> [[Marlett]] is an example of a font used by [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] to draw elements of windows and icons.
