Unicode Version 17.0
𜼜
U+1CF1C "𜼜" Znamenny Combining Mark Povyshe Stranno is a diacritical mark used in the Znamenny notation system, a form of neumatic musical notation developed for Slavic Orthodox chant. This particular combining mark, whose name "Povyshe Stranno" can be interpreted as "higher strange," modifies the pitch or melodic interpretation of a neume, instructing the singer to raise the pitch in an unusual or irregular manner. Positioned above or near the main neume symbol, it reflects the nuanced oral tradition of Znamenny chant by providing an additional layer of expressive detail that was not simply a matter of exact pitch but of interpretive practice.
