Unicode Version 17.0

𜽼

U+1CF7C "𜽼" Znamenny Neume Skameytsa Dvoechelnaya Klyuchevaya is a musical symbol from the Znamenny chant notation system, used historically in Eastern Slavic Orthodox liturgical music. This particular neume, whose name translates roughly to "bench double-hooked key" neume, represents a specific melodic pattern or rhythmic grouping involving two pitches, often indicating a key or pivotal point in the chant. The "skameytsa" element refers to its bench-like or shelf-like shape in the notation, while "dvoechelnaya" denotes its double-hooked or double-lined structure. As part of the Znamenny repertoire, it functions to guide singers in performing the complex, melismatic melodies of the Russian Orthodox tradition, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitize this ancient form of musical writing.
