U+1CFA5 "𜾥" Znamenny Neume Strela Gromokryzhevaya Unicode Character

U+1CFA5 "𜾥" Znamenny Neume Strela Gromokryzhevaya is a specialized musical symbol from the Znamenny chant notation system, used primarily in the liturgical music of the Russian Orthodox and Eastern Slavic churches. This particular neume, whose name translates to "arrow thunderous" or "arrow with a crash," represents a specific melodic ornament or extended vocal flourish, instructing singers to perform a quick, striking rise in pitch followed by a resonant or crashing emphasis. It belongs to the broader repertoire of neumatic signs that convey not only pitch but also rhythmic nuance and expressive articulation, functioning as a graphic guide for the oral tradition of Znamenny chant. The character was officially encoded in Unicode as part of the historic Znamenny notation supplements to support digital preservation and study of this medieval musical heritage.
