- The globe icon is in the same position where a 'Fn' (function) key resides on a Mac keyboard, so I'm guessing its functionality is similar. See especially 'Perform commands with keyboard shortcuts' here: Use your Smart Keyboard with iPad Pro - Apple Support.
If you’re not sure which region or country your keyboard is from, check Apple’s list of keyboard localizations. The ALT key and the Option key are the same thing but confusingly, on many European keyboards the word “Alt” doesn’t appear and it just says “Option” with a symbol.

Apple Logo PNG
Apple is one of the world’s top consumer electronics manufacturers, whose products include smartphones and computers, as well as software and facilities for online services.
Who designed the Apple logo?
The current Apple logo was developed by Rob Janoff, a graphic designer known primarily for corporate logos and identities. The author of the concept was Steve Jobs. By the way, the original Apple logo was created by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne.Logo History
The 1976 Newton Crest logo was more of a piece that deserved a place on the wall in an arts gallery than a logo! It depicted the scientist sitting under an apple tree with an apple hanging right above his head. There was a ribbon winding around the picture with “Apple Computer Co.” written on it. This logo would not last a year. Steve Jobs said he wanted a simpler, catchier, and more modern logo that the first one. A logo, which was almost the same as its current one (except for color) was introduced in 1976 and was there until 1998. The 1976-1998 logo was an apple with rainbow stripes. There are several reasons for that: Steve Jobs wanted people to “think differently”, because the colors were organized in an order different from rainbow. Also, he strove to humanize the symbol and emphasize the company’s specialization in color graphics. Finally, a colored logo would be more conspicuous and memorable.

Apple Keyboard Symbol Meaning Definitions
Later, Jobs confessed that he had gone on a fruitarian diet and visited an apple farm, and it was then that the idea came to him. Rob Janoff, a graphic designer, suggested an image of an apple with a “bite”, so that it would not be confused with other fruits.

There is also more about the ‘bite’ taken out of the apple than just distinction from a cherry or any other fruit. Indeed, the idea goes back to the time of Adam and Eve, who bit from the apple of knowledge. Thus, the image suggests human thirst for knowledge, and using Apple products would help people get knowledge and quench it. Also, the ‘bite’ symbolically puns with ‘byte’ – the unit of digital data.

Who “bit” the emblem?
When Rob Jan first met Steve Jobs in 1977, the Apple company was less than one year old. The process of creating the Apple emblem took just a couple of weeks. While working on the logo, Rob Jan, according to his own confession, cut a lot of apples in halves, and used them as models to make the picture look realistic.
Shape and colors
After shutting down the ‘rainbow’ logo in 1998, Steve decided to use a monochromatic apple image. The logo’s shape remained unchanged. The reason was that the many-colored logo did not go well with the metal casing of new Mac computers. Today, the logo comes in different colors depending on the background.
It should be noted that there were a few color transformations in between. In 1999, an Aqua-themed version of the logo was introduced, and it was in use until 2003. In 2007 the designer team came up with a glass-themed logo, which was used until 2013.
