Here's another one:

🌐︎ – 🌐︎ – 🌐︎ – the Globe / fn Key symbol

Discussion

Though it looks exactly like it, this is not the globe SF Symbol, it's an emoji with a text-style modifier. See its Wiktionary page.

About the fn and globe SF Symbols

In macOS, the fn SF Symbol seems to be used instead of the globe SF Symbol, unless the attached keyboard reports the "SupportsGlobeKey" property in the IORegistry. (See this StackOverflow post).

I investigated, but came to the conclusion, that the fn SF Symbol probably doesn't have a standard unicode equivalent like 🌐︎. Investigation:
As of macOS 15 (Sequoia), in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts..., the textfields only display Unicode characters. So Apple substitutes 🌐︎ for the globe SF Symbol. To substitute the fn SF Symbol, they simply use the character sequence fn (including the trailing space), which strongly suggests that there's no dedicated Unicode substitute.

I hope that was insightful or useful for someone!

@noah-nuebling I was making a tool to search through menu bar items and found this piece of info very helpful. Thank you.
