Text Formatting ⇒ pifont | Dingbat Symbol inside '\underbrace'

[ghostanime2001]

How can one put a \ding{192} symbol in underbrace{}_{} particularly in the second curly brace in the \underbrace command? Surrounding the symbol with $ $ does not seem to work :S

\end{document}

Is there a way to customize the curly underbrace?

Why do you always come bit by bit with your questions and don't ask them right out at once? In which way do you want to customize the brace?

[ghostanime2001]

to control the vertical spacing between the top item and the bottom and how wide should the braces "embrace" the item it's bracing
