I dunno, but the word "anthrax" comes from the Latin anthracus, meaning coal, which describes the blackness of the infection of cutaneous anthrax.

Let’s see if this works:

Wingdings lower case anthrax: anthrax

Upper case ANTHRAX: ANTHRAX

Fwiw…

What does the word "Anthrax" mean. . . ?

. . . the word "anthrax" comes from the Latin anthracus, meaning "coal". . . .

As distinguished from the word Amtrax, which means "slow trains."

The terrorists were going to use Amtrax, but that plan got derailed.
