Unicode Version 17.0
᭰
U+1B70 "᭰" Balinese Musical Symbol Combining Kempul with Jegogan is a graphical glyph used in the Balinese script to represent a specific musical articulation directive within traditional Balinese gamelan notation, where it indicates that the musician should play a kempul (a type of hanging gong) simultaneously or in combination with a jegogan (a large, low-pitched metallophone). This combining symbol is placed above or alongside other musical notations to guide the performer in producing the correct layered percussive texture characteristic of Balinese orchestral music, and it forms part of a larger set of Balinese script characters encoded in Unicode to preserve and digitally support the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia's Bali region.
