Just copy and paste the symbols like any other emoji, from the SF Symbols app:

Not only you can use them as is in your final app, these are absolutely great in UI mockups and even placeholder game sprites.

Of course they will appear like blank squares on most webpages and iOS, but you can copy those squares back to the symbols in native macOS text fields.
It's a little inconsistent; in iOS/tvOS/watchOS/Catalyst apps you have to use `Image(systemName:)` but it's not available on macOS, where you have to copy the symbols from the SF Symbols app into regular text, like emojis.
Apple, why?
It seems like it could almost be used as an alternative to Font Awesome... but while they're obviously intended for use in private apps on Apple platforms, there's no indication I can find you're allowed to export/subset them to your own webfont to use on any website.
Not that I assume Apple would search/care in practice, but it would be cool if it were officially sanctioned.
Can someone explain why you’d want icons in the monospace font you use for development?
I thought those icons were mainly for building websites. But those are usually triggered with a CSS class, not embedded in source code.
What am I missing?

Apologies in advance if the music is not to your taste.
Certainly it is true that i trust anything with lots of math in it more if it is typeset in CM. Problem sets feel downright homey after a while.
Here's my arm-chair hypothesis: the thin connecting lines (don't know the technical font term, though I'm sure one exists) showed up fine on low-res screens because they simply couldn't be made thinner than a certain amount. On high-res screens, they get much thinner, and my eyes have trouble tracking them. Easier to read on paper, though.
