Apple Symbols

Apple Symbols is a font introduced in Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther." This is a Truetype font, intended to provide coverage for characters defined as symbols in the Unicode Standard.

From Mac OS X 10.5 onward, is to be found at /System/Library/Fonts/Apple Symbols.ttf, meaning it is now considered an essential part of the system software, not to be deleted by users.

The version of the font as of Mac OS X 10.5 is 6.0d7e4.
