Illustrated are the correct Unicode code numbers for a variety of Mac keyboard related symbols.
The easiest way to use these via a keyboard is to open System Preferences' International/Language section (name varies with OS version) and in the Input sources list tick the option for "Unicode Hex input"). Then with that input mode selected, type Opt+[number].
For example: Opt+2318 gives ⌘ (the Cmd key symbol). Or, to write them a HTML entity codes: ⌘.
When switching input methods, do not forget when done to switch back to your normal language!
In more recent macOS versions, a triangle icon is replacing the arrow in shortcut renderings
