In Java, the Toolkit method, getMenuShortcutKeyMask(), returns 
Event.META_MASK on Mac OS X; it returns Event.CTRL_MASK on Windows 
and Linux.

The Unicode code point U+2318 is named 'PLACE OF INTEREST SIGN':

More than a few locals call it "pretzel", as in "Try pretzel- 
option-8 to zoom in," but I can see the appeal of "splat."

My old, full-travel, mechanical Apple keyboard has an apple and a 
splat on each meta key.
