Basically the title. Maybe this is old news, but I didn’t know about this trick until recently. Have fun, use responsibly :)

Got this post in my feed, on my android phone, and was very confused on why you would want to type a Google logo on your mac

Very quickly realized Google just made that character their logo as well lmao

Weird, I am on Android as well and all I see is the ol’ X in a box.

Maybe it’s a Google phone only thing.

You need an apple device for it to render correctly
