Thousands of emojis are available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and you can use these in many of the apps you have installed on your Apple devices. But there’s one emoji you won’t see on any of Apple’s official emoji keyboards, and its absence may surprise you at first, considering it’s embedded in almost every Apple product. That emoji is, of course, the Apple logo icon.<\/p>\n
The only apples you’ll see on the Emoji keyboard for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS are red and green without Apple’s trademark bite. You it can be<\/em> see the Apple logo icon in three different emojis of a person with a laptop, but that’s it. There isn’t a single Apple logo available, and that’s because it’s not included in the Unicode Emoji standard that can be used across different products and platforms other than Apple’s.<\/p>\n But just because it’s not a real emoji doesn’t mean you can’t use it in chats, emails, documents, or anywhere else you can put an emoji. The Apple logo (\uf8ff) is a Private Use Area (PUA) character assigned to Unicode as a monochromatic glyph with hex code U+F8FF and decimal code 63743. PUA is a list of code points that the Unicode Consortium left unassigned so that third parties could assign their own characters internally.<\/p>\n The Apple logo icon will not display correctly on all platforms. It might look OK when you enter it, but it might be a question mark (?, \ufffd, \u2370), a black box (\u25a0), an empty block (\u2610, \u25a1), or some other indicator when it’s saved or published.<\/p>\n It the will<\/em> work with any Apple products (TextEdit, Pages, Messages, Mail, Notes, Reminders, etc.), and a number of third-party platforms support it. For example, you can enter and view the Apple logo on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X (Twitter), but only if you use them in Apple applications.<\/p>\n By default, the Apple logo will not work on Android, Windows, or Linux because their system fonts do not include the U+F8FF glyph.<\/p>\n Enter any font that Apple makes \u2014 such as SF Pro, SF Compact, or SF Mono \u2014 and the logo will appear. Apple distributes those fonts as DMG packages that expand into PKG installers, which only open on macOS. Apple’s license technically only allows them to mock the UI of apps running on Apple platforms. TTF\/OTF copies you find on GitHub or font sharing sites are illegal and may violate that license, so proceed with caution.<\/p>\n Windows or Linux:<\/strong> you can still extract .otf or .ttf files from DMG with a tool like 7-Zip.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Android:<\/strong> some devices allow you to change the system font without root, and an app like zFont2 can help you. However, your Android device must already allow you to change the system font, and not all apps use the system font. The process varies by manufacturer and Android version and may require special permissions or a reboot. If your Android device doesn’t allow you to change system fonts, you can use a launcher like Nova Launcher to give you that ability. Otherwise, you’ll need a rooted phone or tablet.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n On a Mac, all you have to do is use the keyboard shortcut Option-Shift-K to insert the Apple logo icon into the text field.<\/p>\n You can also copy and paste the Apple logo icon above or use the method below for iOS and iPadOS.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/astro-island> <\/p>\n If you’re using an external keyboard (like the Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad or the iPad Magic Keyboard Case) with your iPhone or iPad, you can use the same Option-Shift-K keyboard shortcut above to type the Apple logo in the text field. But if you rely on the integrated keyboard of iOS or iPadOS, there are no such keyboard shortcuts built in.<\/p>\n Instead, you have to create a text replacement, giving the icon of the Apple logo to a letter, number, special character, or a combination thereof, which when written, will automatically change to the logo.<\/p>\n On iOS or iPadOS, open the Settings app and navigate to General \u00bb Keyboard \u00bb Text Replacement. Here, you can create and manage all your custom keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/astro-island><\/p>\n Tap the plus sign (+) to create a new text replacement. Next, copy the Apple logo icon shown above and paste it into the Sentence field. This is part of the text extension of the switch. Then, type a shortcut in the Shortcut field, which acts as a trigger to expand the text.<\/p>\n I use the Apple (AAPL) ticker symbol as a shortcut, but you can do anything. Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n AAPL (or aapl)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n applelogo<\/p>\n<\/li>\n appleicon<\/p>\n<\/li>\n F8FF (or f8ff)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n 63743<\/p>\n<\/li>\n an apple<\/p>\n<\/li>\n bitter apple<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Note that capitalization doesn’t matter, so if you set the shortcut to “AAPL,” you can write it in all uppercase or use all lowercase (“aapl”) to get the same result. Also, note that you cannot use emoji in any part of the shortcut.<\/p>\n Tap “Save” to add it to your list.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/astro-island><\/p>\n Now, all that’s left to do is test your new Apple logo keyboard shortcut. Tap on any text field, type your provided shortcut, and hit the space bar or add punctuation to automatically expand it into a bitten Apple logo. If you have Predictive Text enabled on your keyboard, you can tap the Apple logo above the keyboard to insert it into the text field without spaces or any punctuation.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/astro-island><\/p>\n If you have iCloud Drive enabled on all your Apple devices and set them to sync, you can use this new keyboard shortcut on all your iCloud-connected devices.<\/p>\n Don’t miss: <\/strong>How to Trigger iMessage Effects with Just a Keyword<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Cover photo, screenshots, and GIFs by Haki Begajeti.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thousands of emojis are available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and you can use these in many of the apps you have installed on your Apple devices.
