Resolved Why Option+Shift+K makes logo? What's K stands for?

[imusi]

I know Option + Shift + K makes this apple logo  ...
But I mean, why is letter "K", what's "K" stands for?
A or M could be more easy to understand since "Apple" and "Macintosh" start with A and M.


Well now I see on different types of keyboards this "shortcut" could be different as well.

seems that the letter which has no other ‘counterparts’ will be used to produce this  apple logo.
And on US keyboard it'll be K.

However, THANKS for all of you guys.

cause both already had their logical counterparts?

å - Å: represents different sounds in the alphabets used for Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, North Frisian, Walloon, Chamorro, Istro-Romanian, Lule Sami, Skolt Sami, Southern Sami, Greenlandic, and the Alemannic and Bavarian-Austrian dialects of German.

µ: represents is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40. Like a keyboard, it has to continue the other letters that were on the board through this short cut.

(Just a guess)

Or:

Kick-ass
Knowing
Killer



Oh yeah. So it does.

Well, I mean, they could set opt+shift+K to be å - Å or any codes, and leave the letter A to be  ... Apple has always been Narcissism.

I wonder if there's any special meaning for K

 

[Jisuo]

alt + shift + K = º

alt + a = 

 

[Makosuke]

alt + shift + K = º

alt + a = 

I'm guessing that's because your Swedish keyboard has a specific key already reserved to type å - Å, where the [ key is on a US keyboard. That left alt-A free to use for . The US alt-key binding presumably existed before Apple had any fonts with an  glyph, and narcissistic or not, they're not going to move a regularly-used alt key binding just for a character nobody outside Apple-centric internet forums ever types.

On my Keyboard (Spanish) it's like this:

Alt + Shift + K = ˇ
Alt + G = 

 

[wordoflife]

alt + shift + K = º

alt + a = 

alt + shift + K = 

alt + a = å

... on my US keyboard.

Does anyone know the command to make the clover? (the command key symbol)

Now I can put on all my emails.

Then my friends will know for sure what a snotty jerk I am.

We'd tell you, but then we'd have to ˆÒÒ you.

I know that Option-Shift-K makes this Apple logo: , but why the letter K? What does K stand for?

Think of the letter K as the frame or skeleton on the Apple logo.

I created an image that will hopefully help:

Wow that's a very, very ... extraordinary explanation. I have never thought of that

Ahhhhh...

Too shame that they cannot see this  if they are not using a Mac.

My personal hypothesis is that it's for 'kalliste'

Discordianism is a popular hacker, counterculture, semi-farcical, definately absurdist philosophy

"Killa" because Apple is rad.
In all seriousness who knows, perhaps they ran out of keys.
