Type :home_key: · Tech & keys
Unicode name North West Arrow To Corner · Arrows block · added in Unicode 3.0, 1999
What ⇱ is for
An arrow pointing into the top left corner, which is how macOS draws the Home key, and a fair picture of what it does: jump to the start.
How to type ⇱
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:home_key: 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 21F1 with Option
held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 21F1 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
