Dingbats are made the same way other fonts are made. They're both vector drawings.

You'll need an adequate software, like Fontographer, FontCreator, Fontlab, Glyphs,...
Once you chose one of these software, you'll have to learn how it works by reading its official documentation, watching tutorials,...

You can also consider Fontstruct, which is an free online app: https://fontstruct.com
Some users created dingbats with it: https://fontstruct.com/gallery?filters=staff-picks-only&category=picture_symbol
