Windows ASCII Character/HTML Entity/Unicode

Tags:

I was wondering if there is a HTML entity code or ASCII Character for the windows logo. The one that is visible on the windows key (between Ctrl and Alt).

I would've Google'd it however I did not know what to Google and a lot of the characters can't even be seen on Windows so I wouldn't have known if I had seen it.

One of the reasons I am asking this is so instead of saying Windows Key I can actually have the logo in there.

If there isn't a logo available, is there one that closely resembles it and can be easily understood.

Also, as a added question but still relevant, is there a client side program that can be installed to see the currently unavailable ascii/unicode/entity characters on Windows?

⊞ (U+229E): or bold .

However, Microsoft has been changing the logo every few versions.

For Windows Vista/7 it looks best in bold italic .

2021 update: For Windows 11, the symbol is perfect without formatting!
