Unicode Version 17.0
𝁇
U+1D047 "𝁇" Byzantine Musical Symbol Oligon Neo is a specialized glyph used in the notation of Byzantine chant, a liturgical vocal tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This symbol belongs to the Byzantine Musical Symbols block and represents a specific neume, or musical sign, called the "oligon neo," which indicates a rising melodic interval of a third when sung. In the context of Byzantine music theory, the oligon is one of the fundamental building blocks for notating pitch movement and rhythmic nuance, and the "neo" variant clarifies its precise interpretive role within the modal system. It is encoded in Unicode to support digital representation and preservation of ancient and liturgical musical manuscripts.
