This is a very random question I know...

I'm trying to find a font that includes symbols for each of the keyboard keys (e.g. each of the alphanumeric characters, the Enter key, the Alt key, the Esc key, the Backspace key etc.)

I'm fairly sure one (if not several) exists - basically a symbol representing each key on a standard keyboard, preferably an icon of the actual key (as in, a symbol with the image of the button with the character/name of the button on the top)

I'm 99% sure I've "seen" a font family that includes these kinds of symbols but I can't seem to find it/them now that I actually want to use it, and there are so many fonts in Windows and so many characters in each font, it would take forever to scroll through each and every one of them to find what I'm looking for. Google has not helped, other than to direct me to downloadable fonts (I need something native to Windows, not a third-party family)

Just throwing it out there in case anybody knows what I mean and knows the font that i should be checking (FYI there is nothing in Windings, Webdings, Segoe UI Emoji or any of the obvious candidates...)

Am also aware I could just download an image but would prefer a font symbol if at all possible... Something like the below (which is such an image...)

Thanks!

If you have a numeric keypad, press Alt+7 on numeric keypad to type a bullet in Excel.
Thanks @rpaulson but that's a third party font that needs to be downloaded (and paid for). I'm looking for a Windows standard font that would be available to all users by default.

I may be completely wrong but I could have sworn there was at least one font in the standard Windows set that included some symbols/characters representing keyboard buttons.

Not an entire font dedicated purely to keyboard buttons, just a font that included them in the extended set (á la Segoe UI Emoji, Wingdings etc. - but it's none of those...)

I've a strong memory of skimming over them in the past and thinking they might come in handy at a later date but I just can't find them now that I actually need them 😭
