Unicode Version 17.0
᭶
U+1B76 "᭶" Balinese Musical Symbol Right-Hand Closed Tuk is a character from the Balinese script block used primarily in traditional Balinese music notation to instruct a performer to strike the instrument with a closed right hand, producing a specific muted or dampened tone. This symbol is part of a larger system of musical notation that indicates the articulation and hand position for gamelan musicians, where various signs denote open or closed strokes on metallophones and other percussion instruments. The closed right hand tuk, represented by this character, typically results in a shorter, more percussive sound compared to an open stroke, helping to create the rhythmic complexity characteristic of Balinese gamelan music.
