Bottom Left Corner Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Bottom Left Corner because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+231E, which you can use as ⌞ in HTML, \231E in CSS, or type with Alt+8990 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Bottom Left Corner is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+231E is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Bottom Left Corner has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⌞ or the hex escape ⌞.
