In typography, a dingbat (sometimes more formally known as a '''printer's ornament or printer's character) is an ornament, specifically, a grapheme used in typesetting, often employed to create box frames (similar to box-drawing characters), or as a dinkus (section divider). Some of the dingbat symbols have been used as signature marks or used in bookbinding to order sections.
