I’m a software developer and I like Unicode. I think I would like it if I wasn’t, but still. I just realized Unicode contains the characters used for Apple modifier keys:
- ⌥
- [option](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_key)
- ⌘
- [command](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_key)
- ⌃
- [control](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key)
Will that make a difference in my life, ever? Probably not, but I think it’s still cool that I could use those characters in text if I wanted to. As in, instead of writing press Option-Command-Esc
, I would write press ⌥ ⌘ Esc
. Yey!
