Unicode Version 17.0
𜼻
U+1CF3B "𜼻" Znamenny Combining Mark Sorochya Nozhka is a diacritical mark used in Znamenny notation, a medieval Slavic musical notation system primarily employed in Russian Orthodox liturgical chant. This specific combining mark, whose name translates from Russian to "magpie's foot," is placed above or alongside the main neume symbols to indicate a particular rhythmic or melodic articulation, likely involving a quick, ornamented flourish that mimics the quick, light step of a magpie. As part of the rich visual language of Znamenny chant, it modifies the performance of the melody rather than representing a distinct pitch, helping to convey the nuanced expressiveness required in the chanting tradition.
