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
On Windows it doesn’t show anything.

Maybe it’s a Google phone only thing.
Thanks for the tip!!
