is this really notable? also you can change any binding to any key (no, not the fictional any key) Ms.henrick (talk) 16:55, 10 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I was trying to expand the article in terms of current usage, there is so little that super is used for by default. Compiz is all I found/know of.The Sanest Mad Hatter (talk) 00:09, 12 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Diamond symbol?

edit

The first sentence here has the parenthetical "❖" symbol. Where does this come from? There's no mention of it in the article. None of the linked keyboards (Space Cadet, Knight, Symbolics, etc) uses this symbol. The Unicode codepoint (U+2756 "BLACK DIAMOND MINUS WHITE X") makes no mention of its use for the Super key. It's not in the "Miscellaneous Technical" block, where most of the other modifier key symbols are located. It's not mentioned in the ISO/IEC_9995 article.

I thought this might be someone trying to mimic the Windows logo with a standard Unicode codepoint, but in the Windows key article it says Wikipedia uses U+229E SQUARED PLUS for this.

Did this symbol get invented by Wikipedia? It was added in a lone edit on 12 May 2022, with no comment. 2601:602:A080:1240:F2CC:3E1F:5C4F:D12E (talk) 20:37, 2 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
