Is the Control key the same as Command?

As the others have posted, no.

Also, for the sake of keyboard shortcuts, each of the two keys have their own icon:

This: ⌃ indicates the Control key

This: ⌘ indicates the Command key

ex: Pressing these three keys in Finder ⌃⌘Space (Control-Command-Space bar)

will invoke the Emoji & Symbols Character Viewer. 🙂

No. the Control key is marked "ctrl", the Command key is marked "cmd". They are both modifier keys but serve different functions.

In a way, but Apple has its own commands for their MacOS software

The Apple symbols are ⌃ and ⌘. Just as different as the modifier key usage they represent.
