I discovered something really handy today. A number of the icons that Apple uses in the iPhone UI are actually packaged as glyphs within the Apple Symbols font. Here’s how to get to them:
- Open an application (works with most apps — I used TextEdit)
- Go to Edit -> Special Characters
- From the “View” dropdown select “Glyph”, and from the “Font” dropdown select “Apple Symbols”
- Scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen and you should see what’s in the image above. Enjoy!
Note: You can also create a text field in Illustrator, select Apple Symbols as your font, and then go to Type > Glyphs to get the glyphs directly into a vector image format.
