Have you ever wanted to type the Apple symbol logo on your MacBook or Mac computer? It’s a neat little text glyph that can be used in a variety of ways, including saving space on social media and stylizing Apple devices the way Cupertino does.
Luckily, on any macOS or OS X device, typing out the Apple symbol is actually pretty simple. It requires a short keyboard shortcut that’s rather easy to remember.
Mac:
To type the symbol, just press Option + Shift + K on your Mac device. It’s that simple.
Of course, it’s important to note that the Apple symbol typed out this way won’t display properly on unsupported operating systems, namely pretty much any operating system that’s not built by Apple — it’ll appear as a square placeholder glyph instead.
Windows:
There is a way, however, to find and type the Apple symbol on a Windows machine. Here’s how to do that.
1. On a Windows machine, press the Windows and R keys.
2. This will launch the Run window. Type in “charmap” and hit enter.

5. Scroll down a bit until you see the Apple logo character. Select it, and right-click it to Copy.
6. Now, you can paste the Apple symbol wherever you want by right-clicking and hitting Paste, or using the Control+V keyboard shortcut.
