U+1D04E "𝁎" Byzantine Musical Symbol Kentimata Neo Ano is a notation mark used in Byzantine chant notation, specifically part of the Middle Byzantine musical system developed to transcribe liturgical melodies of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This symbol represents a type of kentimata, which are neumes indicating a melodic ascent or ornamental grouping, and the "neo ano" qualifier suggests a later or higher variant of the basic kentima pattern, often employed to guide singers in performing complex intervals or decorative flourishes within the scale. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and accurate rendering of these historical musical scripts.
