Apple keyboards and menus use a consistent set of Unicode symbols: ⌘ Command, ⌥ Option, ⇧ Shift, ⌃ Control, ⎋ Escape, ⇪ Caps Lock, ⌫ Delete and ⌦ Forward Delete. Apple’s own logo is not in Unicode; Apple fonts put it in the Private Use Area at U+F8FF, so it only appears on Apple systems.
When you document shortcuts, list modifiers in Apple’s order — ⌃ ⌥ ⇧ ⌘ — and wrap each key in <kbd> so screen readers and styles can treat it as a key. On PC keyboards the Alt key is sometimes labelled ⎇ U+2387, and power buttons use the IEC symbols ⏻ ⏼ ⏽ ⏾.
