How do I type the “ ⌘” character using the Apple Smart keyboard?

I’d like to be able to type the “⌘” character on my iPad using a smart keyboard. Is there some combination of keys that I can type or press that will make that happen?

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi

Hello,


There are no keyboard combinations available that can type these characters. What I have done is setup text replacement for each character in Settings > General > Keyboard.


⌘ Command

⌥ Option

⌃ Control

⇥ Tab

⎋ Escape

⇧ Shift

 Apple
