I’m not the biggest fan of Apple, but they were so right when they used cute little symbols, instead of text for their modifier keys (⌃, ⌥ & ⌘).

Yess!! I love the Space-cadet symbols!! Wish I could get a keyboard with them printed on the keys!!!
Though, I do feel like ⎈ doesn’t really fit with the other symbols. I think something like ✶—from the same Unicode block as ❖ and ✦—, would fit with the other symbols much better.

Something that’s interesting about the Super and Hyper symbols, is that as far as I far as I know they’re only known used on Wikipedia, nowhere else. ⎈ and ◆ make sense, ⎈ is the ISO standard symbol for Control, and ◆ is used for the Meta key on things like Sun Microsystem’s keyboards. But, as far as I know, the Space-Cadet and related boards never used symbols for their modifiers, and I haven’t seen any other keyboard use the ❖ and ✦ symbols. Kinda interesting.

when I was doing up that keyboard concept a bit ago (hold on, i can just link this now: tulipbunny.au/stash) i went with a box for super and a star for hyper. i don't like how most of the symbols are made from lines, but ◆, ❖, and ✦ are filled in.
i was working within what I had on the editor there, I think maybe an outlined ❖ would be the best but that looks awful close to a windows key!

but the ship's steering wheel to mean 'control' is still odd to me. no wonder it's never used!
