Heh. Somehow I doubt if a random weblog talking about typing an  character constitutes commercial purposes, even if I do have ads.

From the frontmatter of the Dashboard ref pdf (maybe others, too):

Use of the “keyboard” Apple logo
(Option-Shift-K) for commercial purposes
without the prior written consent of Apple
may constitute trademark infringement and
unfair competition in violation of federal
and state laws.

Note that it’s not available (at least not as option-shift-k) with the ‘U.S. Extended’ input method.

Well you have at least one ‘currently’ non-Mac reader, so it’s all ???? to me in Firefox.

Thank you for the quote: I was considering producing an english-only category (or even a dedicated blog) but this make me lazy!

For what it’s worth, the Apple character shows up as Unicode value F8FF in the character palette. This is in the Private Use Area code block of Unicode, so it probably doesn’t translate to other systems.

Ah, yup, just looked at the source for this page, and the little apples are indeed represented by that value. Apple just needs to lobby the Unicode people for its inclusion in Unicode 5.0! (or whatever the heck the next version is)

The open apple glyph is also in Lucida Grande. It’s an alternate form of this character, so you can type it into textedit (for instance) by bringing up the typography palette and clicking the select box at the bottom. I don’t know of any way to get the open apple glyph into a photoshop text layer, however.

I always activate the keyboard viewer in the international preferences. It shows very nicely the directly accessable special characters.

The matias tactilepro keyboard (which is a pretty good approximation of the Apple Extended Keyboard II – my favorite keyboard of all time), has the option and shift-option glyps printed on it, which makes finding things like that (and the euro symbol) easier.
