SymbolIcon is not supported in a WPF Project

Question

I am trying to use SymbolIcon (as defined here in my WPF-XAML code.
But XAML won't compile stating that "SymbolIcon is not supported in a WPF Project".

Could anyone tell me if I am missing any additional assembly to use SymbolIcon. I do have "Segoe UI Symbol" font on my box.

Thanks, RDV

SymbolIcon is a UWP control, and is not supported in WPF.

What you can do is:

• Use a XAML Island to host the SymbolIcon control in your WPF app (Windows 10 1903+).
• Use the WPF Toolkit IconButton.
• Use this suggestion:
  <Button FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" Content="&#xE110;"/>
  Which renders like this:
