Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D0A6 "𝂦" Byzantine Musical Symbol Martyria Tritos Ichos is a notation used in Byzantine chant to indicate the third authentic mode, known as Tritos Ichos, which serves as a modal signature or marker within the musical system of the Eastern Orthodox liturgical tradition. This symbol, part of the Byzantine Musical Symbols block encoded in Unicode, functions as a "martyria" sign, literally meaning "testimony" or "witness," and it instructs the cantor or singer on the specific scale pattern and the prevailing tonic note (the finalis) for a given passage of music. Because Byzantine music is modal and primarily oral in transmission, the Martyria Tritos Ichos provides a crucial written reference point, helping to preserve the correct melodic framework and intonation patterns that define the character of the third mode. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars, musicians, and liturgists can digitally represent and exchange this ancient musical notation with fidelity acros
