Install symbol only Nerd Font

I know how to install specific fonts patched with Nerd Fonts, but is there a way to install just the Nerd Font symbols without any patched font (like NerdFontsSymbolsOnly asset in Nerd Fonts releases) without creating an overlay?

This is how I got nerdfonts to only install the symbols font

(pkgs.nerdfonts.override {fonts = ["NerdFontsSymbolsOnly"];})

Since nixos-25.05: There is a package named nerd-fonts.symbols-only.
