𝁍
U+1D04D "𝁍" Byzantine Musical Symbol Pelaston Neo is a notation glyph found in the Byzantine Musical Symbols block, representing a specific neume used in the chant tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This symbol indicates a particular melodic ornamentation or rhythmic nuance, known as the "Pelaston Neo," which directs the singer to perform a slight, grace-like variation in the melody, often involving a quick oscillation or a decorative note. Its inclusion in Unicode allows scholars, musicians, and liturgical practitioners to digitally encode and preserve the complex neumatic notation system that has been central to Byzantine and post-Byzantine chant for centuries.
