I don’t understand at all. 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?

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.

The definitive nerd font is Computer Modern[0], i think. 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. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Modern
I've found source code sans to be an excellent font for LaTeX, and the companion source code pro for code blocks. They are significantly more readable to me and to most people I know, though that may have to do with screens being much higher-resolution than when computer modern was created. Here's my arm-chair hypothesis: the thin connecting lines (don't know the technical font term, though I'm sure one exists) showe…
By the way, for those on macOS, Apple recently introduced a huge set of icons/symbols that you can resize like any other font and use anywhere within text (in macOS) or images (iOS). Just copy and paste the symbols like any other emoji, from the SF Symbols app: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline...

I’m getting massive use out of Symbols in my Apple platform personal projects, where they’re already a huge time saver but I never thought to use them in this context. Great comment!

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?
