How to Type the Apple Logo (Mac and Windows)

Co-authored by wikiHow Staff

Last Updated: June 8, 2024

You can type the Apple logo on Windows or Mac notebooks and computers in several different ways: by locating the logo in Windows' character map, using a Windows shortcut (typing "F000" and then pressing Alt + X ), via a quick stroke of a few keys on Mac (holding down down ⌥ Option + ⇧ Shift + K ) or with a replacement shortcut on Mac. This tutorial will cover each of the four methods in detail, thereby equipping you to type the logo in Windows and iOS operating systems alike. Interested in inserting an  into your text?

Copy the Apple logo. To do so, you must have first inserted the logo by pressing ⌥ Option + ⇧ Shift + K as detailed in the previous method. After typing the logo into a text field, highlight it and press ⌘ Command + C (or right-click your mousepad and select "Copy"). You can also consult typing an Apple icon for further details.
- Note that this method isn't radically different from using Mac's built-in key combination. It will simply allow you to adjust which combination of keys is associated with the Apple logo, potentially making the process easier depending on a user's preferences.

Begin by opening System Preferences from your Dock or the Applications section of Finder. Then select Keyboard and click on the Text tab.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/6\/68\/Type-the-Apple-Logo-%28Mac-and-Windows%29-Step-12-Version-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Type-the-Apple-Logo-%28Mac-and-Windows%29-Step-12-Version-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/6\/68\/Type-the-Apple-Logo-%28Mac-and-Windows%29-Step-12-Version-2.jpg\/aid2178967-v4-728px-Type-the-Apple-Logo-%28Mac-and-Windows%29-Step-12-Version-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

First click on the plus symbol (+) near the bottom of the window. Next, add your preferred keyboard shortcut under the "Replace" field and paste the previously copied Apple logo next to it in the "With" field. You may paste either by pressing ⌘ Command + V or by right-clicking your mousepad and selecting "Paste." Finally, close System Preferences, and you'll now be able to insert the Apple logo using your key combination of choice.

Question

Is there another area besides System Tools to look for the Character Map? It does not appear to exist on my Windows computer.

Community Answer

You may wish to perform a search for it if you're having difficulty locating it manually. Depending on which edition of Windows you're using, you also might try and perform a search for "admin" or "Administrative tools." Finally, you can always perform a search for "Character Map" directly, and this may in fact be the most efficient way to find it. Alternatively, check out the second method in this tutorial—it allows you to insert the Apple logo without relying on the Character Map at all.
