Unicode glyphs for Mac OS keyboard modifiers
Sometimes it’s useful to represent all the odd keys on a Mac OS keyboard with their proper glyphs in a textual conversation. There’s various ways to do that but honestly the easiest for me is just to search for a web page that contains the right glyphs and copy-paste them into the chat. Recently I’ve found that becoming less effective, requiring several different searches before finally finding a good page, so I’m recording them here where I can find them more easily.
