Pro tip - you can type  on macOS with option + shift + k

Basically the title. Maybe this is old news, but I didn't know about this trick until recently. Have fun, use responsibly :)

Got this post in my feed, on my android phone, and was very confused on why you would want to type a Google logo on your mac

Very quickly realized Google just made that character their logo as well lmao

On Windows it doesn't show anything.

I think Windows' is just a normal letter in a specific font, if I remember correctly!

No it just shows the unknown character symbol for me.

Lol I misunderstood what you meant, my bad

Yeah, Windows won't show it unless you can get a Mac font on there, I guess

A screenshot of the title with the special character mentioned simply drawing as an invalid Unicode character

Why wouldn't you just use SHIFT + G ??

I learned this in the 90s. Definitely old news, if we are framing it that way.

Wow I had no idea that this existed for such a long time. I've clearly been living under a rock... 😅

Doesn't work, just makes a "ˆ" for me.

You need an apple device for it to render correctly

I'm pretty sure my macbook is an apple device.

option + shift + "+".
