“The ⌘ came into the Macintosh project at a late stage. The development team originally went for their old Apple key, but Steve Jobs found it frustrating when “apples” filled up the Mac’s menus next to the key commands, because he felt that this was an over-use of the company logo. He then opted for a different key symbol. With only a few days left before deadline, the team’s bitmap artist Susan Kare started researching for the Apple logo’s successor. She was browsing through a symbol dictionary when she came across the cloverleaf-like symbol, commonly used in Scandinavia as an indicator of cultural locations and places of interest. When she showed it to the rest of the team, everyone liked it, and so it became the symbol of the 1984 Macintosh command key.

The “⌘” symbol, known as a Gorgon loop, Saint John’s Arms or sometimes referred to as Saint Hannes cross, dates back to pre-Christian times.

The symbol was included in the original Macintosh font Chicago, and could be inserted by typing a control-q key combination.”
