U+1CF5B "𜽛" Znamenny Neume Chelyustka is a musical notation symbol used in the Znamenny chant tradition of the Russian Orthodox Church, representing a specific melodic ornament or articulation known as a "chelyustka" which translates to "jaw" or "little jaw" in reference to its shape. This neume is part of a historic system of neumatic notation that visually guides singers in performing intricate vocal flourishes and rhythmic nuances without indicating exact pitches, relying instead on oral tradition and memory.
