How to insert ALT character with Edit -> Emoji & Symbols

fontinternationalizationkeyboard

I want to insert the Apple's Alt key symbol into a document.

enter image description here

So I fired up the 'Emoji & Symbols' window and use 'alt' as the search term.

The symbols are not 100% as I expected but close enough. I want to
use rightmost character in 'Font Variation'

However after trying a few times, the tool will only insert the leftmost symbol ⎇.

How can get the character that I want?

By far the simplest way I can think of is just search for 'option' not alt.

Then it's the only result.

Alternatively, most of the keyboard 'keys' are in Technical Symbols..
