These glyphs can be found at the following Unicode code points:
U+2630 ☰
U+2637 ☷
U+2633 ☳
U+2634 ☴
U+2632 ☲
U+2635 ☵
U+2636 ☶
U+2631 ☱
U+2318 ⌘
U+03B4 δ

The apple logo is more problematic since it resides in the Unicode private area at
U+F8FF 

It will likely show up only in fonts distributed by Apple. Notably, in the (huge, unrestricted shareware, somewhat hugly, but quite comprehensive) Code2000 font it conflicts with the "KLINGON MUMMIFICATION GLYPH" :

Spoiler:

To reduce the size of an embedded font, I would suggest to first strip it, only keeping the glyphs that you use. A tool like GlyphIgo might come handy.
