What is the font family of the close/minimize/reduce button in Windows 10?

We are developing a custom header bar and we need to use the close/minimize/reduce button from the Windows 10 theme even if we are in windows 7.

Our approach was to use the font family from Windows 10. Is there a way to get it?

You should be able to download the Segoe MDL2 Assets font family from here or just copy the .ttf file over from a Windows 10 instance: https://www.azfonts.net/families/segoe-mdl2-assets.html

Once you have done this, you should add the .ttf file to your project as a resource. You can then use the symbols like this:

<!-- Minimize -->
<TextBlock Text="Value="&#xE949;" FontFamily="pack://application:,,,/#Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="10" />

<!-- Maximize -->
<TextBlock Text="Value="&#xE739;" FontFamily="pack://application:,,,/#Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="10" />

<!-- Restore -->
<TextBlock Text="Value="&#xE923;" FontFamily="pack://application:,,,/#Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="10" />

<!-- Close -->
<TextBlock Text="Value="&#xE106;" FontFamily="pack://application:,,,/#Segoe MDL2 Assets" FontSize="10" />
