Entry Seventeen — The Famous Gaster Message

The most iconic Wingdings text in gaming. In the game it appears letter by letter; here is the full passage with its translation:

👎✌☼😐📪 👎✌☼😐☜☼📪 ✡☜❄ 👎✌☼😐☜☼
"DARK, DARKER, YET DARKER…"

This partial excerpt follows the community-standard reading of the room_gaster_typed strings; the complete in-game entry continues with the phrase about darkness keeping spreading, and photons reading negative — the experiment that shattered him.

Fan-tool disclosure: Undertale and its characters are creations of Toby Fox. This page is an unofficial fan resource. No game assets are used — symbols are rendered from the Unicode standard.

How Gaster's Language Works

Gaster's dialogue is ordinary English set in the Wingdings font, capital letters only. That means every fan can read and write it with a simple letter-to-symbol mapping — exactly what this tool does: uppercase your text, swap each letter for its Wingdings symbol, and back again. The main translator handles lowercase too, and the chart page shows every key at a glance.

Writing Your Own Gaster-Style Messages

  1. Type your message — no need to hold Shift, the tool uppercases automatically.
  2. Copy the symbol output.
  3. Paste it into Discord, a YouTube comment, or a fan fic. Send friends this page as the decoder.

Popular uses: ARG puzzles, Deltarune theory posts, October (Halloween) events, and spooking your group chat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is W.D. Gaster?
W.D. Gaster is a hidden character from the 2015 game Undertale by Toby Fox. The royal scientist before Dr. Alphys, he was "shattered across time and space" and speaks exclusively in Wingdings — always capital letters. His name itself abbreviates "Wing Dings".
What does Gaster say in Wingdings?
His most famous line, Entry Seventeen, begins "DARK, DARKER, YET DARKER…" and describes an experiment gone wrong. We reproduce the full entry below, both as symbols and in English.
Why does Gaster only use capital letters?
Undertale renders his dialogue by applying the Wingdings font to uppercase letters, so fans traditionally write Gaster speech in ALL CAPS before converting. Our translator does the uppercasing for you.
Is this Gaster translator official?
No — it's an independent fan tool. Undertale is a creation of Toby Fox; this site is not affiliated with or endorsed by him.
