Unicode Version 17.0
𝂣
U+1D0A3 "𝂣" Byzantine Musical Symbol Martyria Alli Protos Ichos is a specialized glyph from the Byzantine Musical Symbols block used in the notation of Byzantine chant, a liturgical tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This particular symbol represents a type of martyria, which is a marker or signature that indicates the musical mode, or echos, specifically the "Alli Protos Ichos" (the altered first mode). It serves as a guide for singers to correctly interpret the melodic framework and tonal center of a chant passage, functioning similarly to a musical key signature in Western notation. Its inclusion in Unicode allows digital preservation and accurate rendering of this ancient musical notation system in modern text environments.
