I've been following a tutorial, and I've got as far as Step 11 but then you're supposed to use a "Dingbat" according to the tutorial.

Now I've heard of the Game "Dingbats" and I've heard of "wingdings" and "Webdings" and such like for using symbols.

But none of those look anything like the "Dingbat" that the tutorial uses - not that I have to use EXACTLY the same symbol - in fact if I knew how to make one - I'd rather do that.

But I'm not very good at drawing straight lines on the computer, and I don't really know how to make one... especially one where the symbol is drawn/created on a transparent background so you can add it to a layer and continue with the tutorial.

Oh, this is the tutorial I'm doing:

Can anyone help?
