On a Windows PC
Apple’s table of Windows keys on a Mac does not pair Fn or Globe with a Windows key, and Microsoft’s list of Windows shortcuts does not name one.
The character: U+1F310 GLOBE WITH MERIDIANS
To type or paste it anywhere, copy this: 🌐. It is U+1F310 in Unicode, named GLOBE WITH MERIDIANS, shown in the code chart Unicode Consortium, Code chart: Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs, U+1F300 to U+1F5FF, U+1F310
Apple’s list shows the Globe key as a picture, not as a character, so there is no official code point for the key itself. The nearest Unicode character is the globe with meridians; the names list notes it is used to indicate international input source, world clocks with time zones, etc.
