The first documents about "keyboard symbols" appear in 1997: https://www.unicode.org/L2/L1997/Register-1997.html https://www.unicode.org/L2/L1998/Register-1998.html https://www.unicode.org/wg2/docs/n2100.htm Many of these documents were on paper and don't have online versions. In general, user interfaces do just fine with symbols as images, not needing encoded characters, and not wanting to rely on variable font support and glyph design. markus >
