Enter Key Numpad symbol
Type :enter_key_numpad: · Tech & keys
Unicode name Up Arrowhead Between Two Horizontal Bars · Miscellaneous Technical block · added in Unicode 1.1, 1993
What ⌤ is for
An arrowhead between two bars, the glyph for the Enter key on the numeric keypad. On a Mac that key is separate from return ⏎, and some apps treat the two differently, which is the only time the distinction matters.

is the same on every platform.

What ⌤ gets mistaken for
The return key on the main keyboard, an arrow going down and to the left. That is the one most shortcuts mean.
