Unicode Version 17.0

𜼣

U+1CF23 "𜼣" Znamenny Combining Mark Tikhaya is a diacritical mark used in the Znamenny notation system, a form of neumatic musical notation developed in the medieval Slavic Orthodox world. This specific mark, whose name "Tikhaya" translates to "quiet" or "soft," indicates a subtle dynamic or articulation nuance, typically modifying the pitch or duration of a preceding note in a liturgical chant to convey a restrained or gentle vocal quality. As a combining character, it is designed to be placed over or near a base note symbol, allowing scribes and musicians to encode expressive performance details within the traditional sacred musical repertoire. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this historical notation can be preserved and accurately represented in digital texts.
