Default wingdings characters and codes

Hi:
I have a column of 20 characters that I paste into a column in excel
and when I turn the font for that column into wingdings, the three
characters are a pair of scissors, a telephone and a candle. the
character codes -- according to Start|Programs|Accessories|System
Tools|Character Map|WingDings -- a

Scissors = 0x22
Candle = 0x27
Phone = 0x28

I would like to determine the following:
1) the number of scissors
2) the number AND row of candles for further processing

How do I use the character codes in this vba script?

thanks in advance.
