What is this ⌅ symbol?

Question

As you can see in the image, there is a symbol that looks like a caret under a horizontal line.

I want to break page by this shortcut in the image but I don’t know what the second symbol is and where it is on the keyboard. Please help me!

Does this answer your question? Where can I find the unicode symbols for Mac functional keys? (Command, Shift, etc.) — Alper, Apr 10 '22 at 16:19
@Alper - no, not a dupe. 'What physical key is this on my keyboard?" not 'How do I generate this symbol?" — Tetsujin, Apr 10 '22 at 16:30
Here's explained very well. TLDR; Different keys actually; keyboard which has numeric keypad, that's the enter symbol for it. Source: https://superuser.com/questions/522743/what-is-the-keyboard-symbol-on-a-mac — iDeveloper, Apr 11 '22 at 02:53

⌅

is a symbol representing a press of the Enter key.
Enter is often confused with return ↩ and less often with control due to the caret.

⌃

is the Control symbol.

So your keyboard shortcut is Cmd ⌘ Enter ⌅

From Comments
Enter & Return are distinct keys but their functionality is not often differentiated.
If you specifically need Enter for a function on a short [laptop] keyboard with only a Return key, then Fn Return ⏎ will send Enter.

What's the difference between Return and Enter? – justhalf Apr 11 '22 at 06:01

@justhalf Originally, Carriage Return vs Line Feed. But now they both behave like a CR+LF - move to the start of the next line. – muru Apr 11 '22 at 06:35

@justhalf - See https://apple.stackexchange.com/q/47565/85275 for a more Mac-specific explanation - I know Adobe & FCP still differentiate functionally. Fn/Return will give Enter if needed. – Tetsujin Apr 11 '22 at 07:25
