What ⌨ is for
A keyboard, drawn as a glyph. Used in documentation to mark keyboard-related settings. Most platforms now render it as an emoji.
How to type ⌨
The shortcuts below are the built-in routes. With
Emoji Anywhere
installed you can skip all of them and type
:keyboard_symbol: 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 2328 with Option
held.
Windows
No Alt code. In Word, type 2328 then press Alt +
X. Elsewhere use the emoji panel with Win + Period, or Character Map.
