I have some utilities for putting "special characters" in what I type. I use Windows, and Windows has a utility called Character Map. I also have a freeware utility called Extended Character Map, which I prefer to use.
So getting characters like a British pound £ or a copyright symbol © or a paragraph symbol ¶ are no problem.
But how would I get a Windows Key symbol? I am looking for a symbol I could put into a sentence, not a separate JPG or other image.

Windows key - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vista-style key pictured is the one I'd prefer.
 
In MS Word:

1) select from the menu bar Insert > Symbol

2) dialog box opens, with character map of all available symbols

3) change font to Wingdings

4) Windows symbol is the last one on the list.

5) double click on the symbol to insert.

Thank you, Dedalus!!! :)
