KMT et al, thank you all for your careful consideration. Perhaps we need to step closer to reality. Design is a schematic and is visualized in application as optimal parts inclusion through manufacture, representing design.
In architecture, we call it, Draft: not public, a view of Type in Context.
Draft deployment...
Draft includes SF-Mono, SF-Pro, SF-Compact, and NewYork fonts, adding glyph icons (symbols).
Online collateral are found at fonts.gooogle.com as NewYork in Literata and SF in Montserrat group.
View symbols in Glyphs, TransType, Font Studio, etc.
Apply symbols with Ultra Character Map: drag-and-drop into text and image documents during Concept extension.
Adapt symbols using development tools like X-Code, Pixelmator and so on.
Apple San Francisco fonts [
https://developer.apple.com/fonts], includes five font families, found here:
Download SF Pro Text, Download SF Compact, Download SF Mono, Download New York, Download SF Symbols.

Issues...
Not grouped in Emoji and Symbols. Some installed symbols match default Light/Dark appearance. So, if User forces Light at night, many symbols defaulting to white on white will be hidden. Whereas, night-time Dark or Auto appearance shows all symbols as white-on-Dark. Daytime, the opposite? Interesting visual adaptation.
Night-time Dark Appearance [all symbols are white on dark]
Night-time Light Appearance [most symbols are white on white, invisible]
Daytime development encounters the opposite effect! Nice.
Assume that SF-Symbol document display issues can be managed in the appropriate development environment. However, San Francisco fonts appear problematic for public User environments. Forcing a comfortable technology tightness. Deploy SF fonts in development only. For example, building 3x3 navigation cubes with Sublime Text and pixelmator. Note that no symbols are html entities. NewYork has no symbol.
Ultimately, San Francisco fonts can play a part in development of online communications, expressed as web page development. That is, some SF Symbol Glyphs can be deployed as inspiration: Pixelmator PNG drafts optimally extending into a typography production to construct a dynamic cube glyph suited to navigable display Context. Wherein SF cube symbols represent a massive Design challenge.
Frankly, outside of totalitarian regimes, SF inspirations should represent a natural extension of community technology. Lawyer interest would be quite incidentally... minimal. Graphic artists’ involvement would be a tangible expectation. Not excluding typographers, naturally. The dyadic demonstration of human symbolism cultures, clearly explains the universal limitation of navigation to the arrow point. Cave man logic. SF cubic symbols tease innovation pushing human mental extension. Of course respecting the crippled limitations of a digital development font, creative vector display enhances that development environment. Apple only inspiration. Naturally. Love it!
