Last night when I went to shut down my M1 Mac Mini I noticed a strange icon in the menu bar:
Left or right clicking provided no information. While I was trying to do a reverse image search on it it disappeared and has not reappeared since. Has anyone ever seen this particular menu bar icon and know what it is?
Mac mini 2018 or later

Look at your Activity Monitor .app for a matching icon under process name.
Activity Monitor User Guide for Mac - Apple Support
—You can look under your Log-in items if something is launching...
>System Preferences>Users &Groups>Admin>Log-in Items herr too it can be removed +/-
—You can see if it the app shows using Command Tab
—You can use the Command key and drag it off
That's what it was. I'm using a Logitech Master Keys and the Logitech software is putting that icon in the menu bar when caps lock is on.
I've never noticed before. Thanks for the great info. This is the problem with iconography, you have to know what it means to know what it means :-)
The icon looks similar to Caps Lock symbol, do you have any apps installed connected with the keyboard operations?
Hard to tell without seeing it
My post has the image...
