𝁤
U+1D064 "𝁤" Byzantine Musical Symbol Ekstrepton is a notation used in Byzantine chant, a form of liturgical music within the Eastern Orthodox tradition, where it indicates a specific melodic ornamentation or a rise in pitch, often serving as a linking note that connects phrases or emphasizes a particular syllable. This symbol belongs to the Byzantine Musical Symbols block in Unicode, which was added to preserve the rich, neumatic notation system developed in the Byzantine Empire. The Ekstrepton, like other Byzantine neumes, does not denote an exact pitch but rather a stylistic and rhythmic gesture, with its interpretation largely depending on the tradition and performance practice of the chant.
