Enter Apple characters on the keyboard - how it works

On a Mac, you can easily enter the Apple character using the keyboard. But even under Windows you don't have to do without the apple icon. We'll show you where to find the special character in both operating systems.

Enter Apple characters on Mac

If you want to write special characters like the Apple symbol on your Mac, you can use the character overview:

1. Open the system settings and select the entry "Keyboard".
2. Activate the item "Show keyboard and character overviews in the menu bar".
3. Then click on the keyboard menu in the menu line and select the entry "Show character overview". Here you will find all available special characters in addition to the Apple symbol.
4. Alternative: Write the Apple character even faster with the key combination [Alt] + [Shift] + [+].

Enter Apple characters in Windows

In Windows, you can also enter the Apple logo. Unfortunately, there is no shortcut.

1. Click on the Windows symbol at the bottom left and search for the "Character table" in the input field.
2. Start the tool of the same name and select the "Baskerville Old Face" option under "Font".
3. Then scroll to the bottom of the list and select the Apple sign. If you click the "Copy" button, you can paste the symbol anywhere with the key combination [Ctrl] + [V].
