Microsoft's Windows icon has changed multiple times throughout the past decade. In doing so, the Windows key's icon has changed as well, from Windows XP to the most modern iteration, Windows 8.
Now I'm writing some documentation for some procedures for a friend of mines. I really want to use a symbol or ASCII code to represent the windows key. But the only font symbol that even comes close to the Windows key is Wingdings Alt 255
, and the look of that isn't modern at all: .
I'm looking for the modern symbol of the current platform, since my friend's computer is running Windows 8.1. Is there a native fontset that allow me to do this? Something like or
(note, these two symbols are images found from google search. I want symbols, not an image).
Without using a custom font? No. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-09-17T17:19:12.207

I don't know of any supplied by Windows by default, but FontAwesome has a Windows Icon that you could use.

@Ramhound Are you familiar with [graphicdesign.se]? Are you familiar with their accepted questions, their meta decisions? Don't let the name fool you - it's not just drawing over there. Incidentally, font-id questions appear to be accepted, but best way to verify would be to ask an actual user of that site.

I am not sure if the user is asking for font identification though. I also don't see how Anything not directly related to graphic design isn't clear. I don't see a question about graphic design. Of course I could be wrong, I just don't want to see a question that isn't on topic migrated to some other place, because its not on topic here.
