Source of man or women figure in Text Box
Posted on 2016-07-16
Hello,
What is the source of the small man figure shown in the following screenshot?
The above screenshot is a Text Box I found in an old PowerPoint file. As best as I remember, it came from one of the Insert > Symbol sheets in MS Office apps, but now I cannot find it nor recall it's origin. I do remember that, in addition to the man, there was also a figure of a woman and another figure showing a man and woman with a couple of children.
I believe the figure is not a picture or image, but is a font character as it resides in a Text Box. By the way, selecting the figure inside the box does not indicate the font.
Does anyone happen to know the source?
Thanks

More than likely it was included in the old Clip Art Gallery which used to be part of Microsoft Office. They discontinued that feature a couple of years ago and published it all to Creative Commons so that it can be searched through Bing from within any Office app

Hi Steve,
The man and woman are in the Webdings font, which should be available in your MS Office. But I don't see a man and a woman with children in there. You can see all the characters in the font via Start>All Programs>Accessories>Syste
There may certainly be a similar, third-party font that has a character with the children, but I'm not aware of it. Regards, Joe

Thanks a bunch for the responses!
Between your posts and a bit more digging, I found exactly what I'm after. Following are some notes for my own reference:
Website: www.fileformat.info
U+1F6B9 = man
U+1F6BA = woman
U+1F6BB = man & woman
U+1F46A = family
MS Office: Insert > Symbol
Font: Segoe UI Symbol
1F464 = person
1F466 = boy
1F467 = girl
1F468 = man
1F469 = woman
1F46A = man & woman with child
1F46B = man & woman
Font: Webdings
128 = man
129 = woman
130 = boy
131 = girl

You can also insert the symbols using the Insert Symbol dialogue (select the Webdings font and then the symbol you want).
