Look carefully at the positions of the words. A lot of dingbats depend on prepositions like above and below, over and under, before and after.

Pull the dingbat apart. Try looking for little words inside the big one.

In some dingbats, the shape of the word is important. What does it look like? Is it bent? Turned over? Backward? Really big? Describing (out loud) exactly what you're seeing may give you the clue that you need.
