U+1CF96 "𜾖" Znamenny Neume Strela Povodnaya Unicode Character

U+1CF96 "𜾖" Znamenny Neume Strela Povodnaya is a notation symbol from the Znamenny chant musical tradition, which was historically used in Eastern Orthodox liturgical music, particularly within the Russian Orthodox Church. This specific neume, meaning "arrow launched with a guide" or "drawn arrow," represents a melodic pattern or inflection that directs how a melodic line should be performed, often indicating a specific rise or emphasis in pitch. As part of the Znamenny system, which predates modern staff notation, this character helps preserve the intricate and semi-neumatic rhythmic and tonal cues of medieval Slavic sacred singing.
