Viele-- I do not believe there is any intentional hidden hate-message here. In
the Wingding font, these symbols have been attached to these letters randomly
and have been that way for as long as I've been using Microsoft Office. I
believe it is a dreadfully sad and unfortunate coincidence rather than a
conspiracy.
