Questions tagged [sf-symbols]

SF Symbols is a font containing configurable symbols for use on Apple platforms (iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS). It is also a macOS application for exploring the font, exporting symbols from the font as SVG, and creating new symbols in the style of the font. Use this tag to discuss the use of the SF Symbols font and (where applicable to programming) the SF Symbols application.

Apple announced and released the SF Symbols font and the SF Symbols application at WWDC on June 3, 2019. Apple describes the font as follows:

SF Symbols provides a set of over 1,500 consistent, highly configurable symbols you can use in your app. Apple designed SF Symbols to integrate seamlessly with the San Francisco system font, so the symbols automatically ensure optical vertical alignment with text for all weights and sizes. SF Symbols are available in a wide range of weights and scales to help you create adaptable designs.

The SF Symbols font is included in the following operating systems:

  • macOS 10.15 and later,
  • iOS 13 and later,
  • tvOS 13 and later,
  • watchOS 6 and later.

The SF Symbols app runs on macOS 10.14.4 or later. It allows browsing the SF Symbols font, exporting some symbols as SVG, and preparing modified SVG files for importation into an Xcode asset catalog.
