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

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

            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

      Weird, I am on Android as well and all I see is the ol’ X in a box.

      Maybe it’s a Google phone only thing.

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

    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… 😅

      You need an apple device for it to render correctly

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

        option + shift + “+”.
