Apple Logo symbol

What  is for

The Apple logo is not really in Unicode. It sits at U+F8FF, the last slot of the Private Use Area, which the standard leaves empty for anyone to fill, and Apple fills it in its own fonts. So it shows as the logo on a Mac, iPhone or iPad and as an empty box or a blank on Windows, Android and Linux. It is fine in a bio or a message to someone you know is on Apple, and a gamble anywhere the audience is mixed.

No Alt code. In Word, type F8FF then press Alt + X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
