SF Symbols is a set of more than 2,500 configurable symbols you can use in your app. Each symbol is available in a wide range of weights and scales. You can also change the color of each symbol.

To use SF Symbols in Figma, simply drag and drop the desired symbol from the SF Symbols panel into your design. You can then resize and color the symbol to match your app’s design.

You can also use SF Symbols in HTML by adding the following code to your website’s CSS file:

PRO TIP: If you are using a Mac with Catalina (10.15) or newer, you can add SF Symbols to your Figma library. To do this, open the “Add to Library” panel, click on the “SF Symbols” tab, and type in the name of the symbol you want to add.

However, if you are using an older version of macOS, you will not be able to add SF Symbols to your Figma library.

@font-face {
/* Use the SF Symbols font */
font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, “Segoe UI”, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
src: local(“SF Symbols”);
}

/* Use the SF Symbols icon as a bullet for list items */
li::before {
content: “\1F50D”; /* This is the code for the heart emoji */
margin-left: -1em; /* Adjusts positioning */
margin-right: 0.5em; /* Adjusts spacing */
}

Conclusion: You can use SF Symbols in Figma by dragging and dropping the desired symbol from the SF Symbols panel into your design. You can also use SF Symbols in HTML by adding the following code to your website’s CSS file.
