What ⌦ is for
Forward delete, the mirror of backspace: it removes the character after the cursor. On Mac keyboards this is Fn plus delete, and the glyph points right where backspace points left.
How to type ⌦
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:forward_delete: in any text field instead, which
is the same on every platform.
macOS
No direct shortcut. Use Edit → Emoji & Symbols, or switch to the Unicode Hex
Input source and type 2326 with Option
held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2326 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
