Which font list or keyboard shortcut for the latest Windows10 logo key please?  Wingdings only has the Windows 8 version.  Is screen capture the only way to incorporate the Windows logo key into a document?   Thanks

    I think this key will have a different appearance on different keyboards (my Das keyboard has a Das logo instead of Windows), and the Wingdings version is probably representative enough. Alternatively, character 87 in the Marlett font is also a Windows icon. The one you want is contained in another font you may be unlikely to have: see https://cdsmythe.com/2019/how-to-create-a-keyboard-shortcut-to-insert-the-windows-key-symbol/.

    I have not been able to find a Windows logo character. There is a unicode character that approximates it

    http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/229e/index.htm

    The Wingdings font has a “Windows logo” at code point U+00FF, where the letter “ÿ” should be present. You can't see it here, but you can see it in Office applications.  It is not specifically the Win10 "angled" Window, but an older version. Close enough.

    This wiki article about the Win Key:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows\_key

    has generated a text based representation ⊞ Win that you can copy and paste. It looks better in Word and the Web than here. I checked and it uses an unusual font, inherit that is not installed in Win. It appears to have a "box" attribute.

    I was able to insert the wingding character as a formatted autocorrect entry, but have not been able to get Word to use autocorrect to replace it as expected.  Maybe Suzanne can suggest something I missed to make it work. I don't normally use autocorrect.  I expect it to "autocorrect" to insert the character after typing the code, winkeyx, and a space. But that is not happening.
