Yo,

If you could design your very own dingbat font, what special characters would
you put in it?  What doodads do want to be just a keystoke away?  Symbols,
glyphs, icons, pictographs, what?

I've spent the last few months designing non-alphabetic fonts (bar codes),
getting ready to do a set of Braille fonts and therefore have been think about
symbols.  I'm just curious about what collective images will arise from this
open-ended inquiry. 

thanks,

who, me?  i'd put in the international NO symbol (circle w/slash), a peace sign,
the lion used by Rastas, a little map of Mother Africa, my signature and a
lightening bolt.
