About "that symbol" on the keyboard, common to drones, da Vinci code and Miles

Command (cmd) key for iPad Pro Magic Keyboard

　Recently, I often pick up stories from Twitter, but this is also the case. Such tweets flowed to the timeline. Apple] [The keyboard of C is Dark-Apple right side, and of course this is the "Command key". The "button that looks like a drone from above" on the Mac keyboard is a very good expression, which is certainly like a quadcopter. Since Apple is a key that is used from Mac to iPad, it seems that the original name and origin are not well known, so I will try to pick it up again. Speaking of which, the icon of the action record application "MILES" that became a hot topic at the end of last year is a similar symbol. Some would have thought that this wouldn't have to get Apple's license. It should be an explanation that there is no need. That said, you just have to quote the blog I wrote on May 21, 2006.・ Because it is my own text that solves the mystery of "Da Vinci Code", Mac and "St. John's Emblem", I will post the full text.

Solve the mystery of "Da Vinci Code", Mac and "St. John's Emblem"

　On Sunday, I saw the movie "Da Vinci Code" with my family. If you are using Apple's genuine keyboard, see the third from the left side of the keyboard. Did anyone noticed that one of the icons explained by Professor Langdon, dressed as Ham Tonks (not), contains this Command key? It is a symbol of 2318 in Unicode. When I checked this Command key, there was a commentary on the page "Command Key Truth and Fiction". This was originally a symbol of "Saint Hannes Cross" and "Saint John's Arms" (the Cross of St. John's), which was originally derived from the Scandinavian Peninsula, and it was brought to the Mac from Swedish. The meaning is "symbol showing the historic sites", and it seems to be called "Place of Interest Sign" in Unicode. Wikipedia also has a commentary. Apple did not decide on his own. So, even if Langdon explains, it's not strange. This Command key is called Splat, CloverLeaf, Butterfly, Beanie, Flower, etc. The reason why the old -fashioned site was used as a modifier key is "interesting function", and it is explained in the above "Command Key Truth and Fiction". Another item of Wikipedia has a more detailed explanation. According to it, I was originally intended to use the Apple logo for the modifier key, but Steve Jobs opposed "I overuse the Apple logo." While Susan Care, a famous icon designer, was investigating the symbol, learned that this emblem, like a clover, was used in Sweden, and showed it to the development team, and everyone liked it (including Jobs). It seems that it will be adopted. By the way, on the Susan Care website, she sells boxer shorts and camisole with the COMMAND key (the emblem of St. John) (currently there is her Commerce site, but these products are no longer sold). 。 In addition, there is a familiar Apple logo on the left side of this Command key, but this Apple logo is from Apple] [At the time, it was called the Open-Apple key at this time. This is because there was another Apple key at this time, not the outline, but the colored Dark-Apple logo. The other is an outline (OPEN) logo, which is located along with the Command symbol. Apple at home] [Checked in E, the two Apple keys were placed on the left and right of the space bar. Of course, Dark-Apple is on the right. Another keyword related to Apple comes out, but after seeing it to the end ... By the way, what are the machines used to explain the mystery of the "last supper"? I think it's a Windows machine + Wacom tablet, or is it a tablet PC?
