U+1D0CC "𝃌" Byzantine Musical Symbol Fthora Enarmonios Antifonia is a specific notation used in the Byzantine musical tradition, part of a system that developed for the neumatic notation of liturgical chant in the Eastern Orthodox Church. This symbol, known as a fthora, indicates a chromatic alteration in the pitch or mode, specifically the enarmonios genus, which involves microtonal intervals, and the term "antifonia" relates to its role in antiphonal singing, where two choirs alternate. It helps guide the performer in modulating the scale or expressing a particular melodic nuance, preserving the complex oral tradition of Byzantine vocal music through written signs.
