Apple has changed the key label on this key on recent models of their products.
A voiceOver user does not even know that this label has changed, because VoiceOver still calls it the Fn key.

Interesting that the Globe key is the Fn key, since it's labled Fn in every
image of the Apple Magic Keyboard I can find.

I don't deal with Macs nearly as often as PCs, but having been in this
business since the mid-80s I've never heard "globe key" used by a Mac user,
prior to tonight.  You learn something new (or at least you may learn
something new) every day.

I knew that the Command key translated to the WinKey and Option as Alt (the
latter is double-labeled with alt written on it, too).
