U+1D07F "𝁿" Byzantine Musical Symbol Klasma Ano Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D07F "𝁿" Byzantine Musical Symbol Klasma Ano is a typographic and digital representation of a specific neume used in Byzantine chant notation, primarily within the musical traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This symbol belongs to the "Byzantine Musical Symbols" Unicode block, which encodes over two hundred signs from a medieval and modern notation system that uses neumes to indicate melodic movement and rhythm. The Klasma Ano specifically functions as a rhythmic augmentation or lengthening mark, often associated with an upward inflection or cadential gesture in the chant, indicating that the note or syllable should be held for a longer duration. Its inclusion in Unicode preserves and supports the digital rendering of this ancient and living liturgical music tradition, allowing composers, scholars, and cantors to accurately notate and share these chants across modern software and platforms.
