Tips

Do you want to type the iconic Apple logo on your Mac or PC? Even if you’re on a Mac, it’s a little trickier than you might think. While there is a specific shortcut to do it on Mac (Option + Shift + K), it will only work reliably in certain Apple apps. You can also type the Apple logo in a Word document on Mac or Windows, but only if you have the right font selected. Read on to learn the easiest ways to type an Apple logo on your computer.

Insert the Apple Logo Into Text on Mac or PC

On a Mac, you can type the Apple logo in Apple programs (like Pages or Notes) using the shortcut Option + Shift + K.
In Windows, set the font to Baskerville Old Face in your word processing app. Find the Apple logo in the Symbols menu.
If you’re using the Baskerville Old Face font in Windows, use the Unicode shortcut by typing F000, then pressing Alt + X.

Using the Mac Shortcut

1
Open an Apple application (like Pages, Notes, or Messages). While Mac has its own built-in shortcut for writing the Apple logo, it will only work with Apple word-processing and office apps, like Pages, Notes, and Keynote. It will also work in communication apps like Messages. You can’t generally use this shortcut in third-party applications like Word or Google Docs (unless you are using a specific font that supports the shortcut).
- This shortcut will work in Word for Mac if you have the font set to Helvetica Neue. Otherwise, you’ll just see a box with a question mark inside.
- The Helvetica Neue hack does not work in Google Docs.
2
Use the shortcut ⌥ Option+⇧ Shift+K. Click where you want the logo to go in your document, then press Option, Shift, and K simultaneously. This will cause the Apple logo to be immediately inserted.
- To save the document in a format where the logo will be visible to any other user (no matter what OS they’re using and what fonts they have installed), export it as a PDF.

Set your own text replacement shortcut if you prefer. If you don’t want to use the shortcut every time, you can set your Mac to automatically replace the text of your choice with the Apple logo. This trick will only work in Apple apps, like Pages, Notes, or Messages. It won’t work in a third-party app, even if you’re using a font that contains the logo (like Helvetica Neue). Here’s how to do it:
- Click the
  menu at the top left side of the screen and select System Settings.
- Select Keyboard in the left-hand menu bar. You’ll need to scroll down.
- Click Text Replacements… under the Text Input header.
- Click the + icon at the bottom left corner of the list of text replacements.
- In the Replace field, type in the text of your choice (e.g., “applelogo”).
- In the With field, paste the Apple logo symbol. You’ll need to type it somewhere first using the Option + Shift + K method, then copy and paste it.
- Click Add, then click Done.
- Type your chosen shortcut text into an app that supports this method (such as Pages, Notes, or Messages). Press Return or Space, and the text will be replaced with the logo!

1
Open your favorite word processing program. On Windows, you can type the Apple logo if you have a font that supports it. Start by opening Word or another word processing app where you want to type the logo.
- While the details of how to access special symbols might vary from one word processing app to another, the basic steps should be similar. We’ll explain how to do this in Word.
2
Select Baskerville Old Face as your font. Microsoft Office for Windows comes with Baskerville Old Face, which includes the Apple logo. If you don’t have it, download it from a website like freefontdownload.org or freefonts.co and install it on your computer.

Question

Is there another area besides System Tools to look for the Character Map? It does not appear to exist on my Windows computer.

Community Answer

You may wish to perform a search for it if you're having difficulty locating it manually. Depending on which edition of Windows you're using, you also might try and perform a search for "admin" or "Administrative tools." Finally, you can always perform a search for "Character Map" directly, and this may in fact be the most efficient way to find it. Alternatively, check out the second method in this tutorial—it allows you to insert the Apple logo without relying on the Character Map at all.

Tips

Copying and pasting the Apple logo can be tricky, too. While you can easily copy and paste it between Apple apps on a Mac, it won’t necessarily paste correctly into a third-party app. You need to have the doc set to a font that supports the symbol (like Helvetica Neue).

Thanks
