AltKeyCodes

Squared Key Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Squared Key because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+26BF, which you can use as ⚿ in HTML, \26BF in CSS, or type with Alt+9919 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Squared Key is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+26BF is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Squared Key has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⚿ or the hex escape ⚿.
