Typing the Globe symbol.

Hi, guys. I've been looking for quite some time now but cannot find how to type the actual globe symbol that appears near the bottom left corner of the soft keyboard, (and is used to change keyboards), whenever you enable more than one keyboard in international prefs.

Can anybody shed any light on it?

Thanks.

Try this, I know it'll bring up the Apple logo, perhaps the globe as well:

Enable japanesee keyboard as second keyboard, and when you wanna insert the  symbol press the globe icon next to space bar on the keyboard to enable Japanese keyboard and type appuru which will bring up a selection of symbols, and one is . Perhaps the globe symbol will also appear.

I don't know if the actual globe symbol is available, but here's how you get to symbols:

1. Go to Settings>General>International>Keyboards>Japanese and Turn the Kana keyboard on.
2. Open a new email, text message, anything and click the world symbol at the bottom of the keyboard. Once on the Kana keyboard press the ABC button twice:
3. Press and hold the 1 key and select the star. Wait about 2 seconds for a correction menu to appear. Once it does press the arrow.
4. Select your favorite symbol.
NOTE: Different buttons have different sets of symbols.
