I created a script to extract the unicode code point map from Google Fonts: https://github.com/terros-inc/expo-material-symbols
This can then be used after adding the font that can be downloaded from Google's releases page: https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/releases/latest
For example:
import glyphMap from './map.json'
const MaterialSymbols = createIconSet(glyphMap, 'Material Icons', 'MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf')
