U+1D105 "𝄅" Musical Symbol Short Barline Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝄅
U+1D105 "𝄅" Musical Symbol Short Barline is a graphical glyph used in musical notation to represent a barline that is shorter in height than the standard barline spanning the full staff. Unlike a regular barline which typically extends from the top line to the bottom line of a staff, this symbol is primarily employed in modern and experimental scores to indicate a partial measure division or to clarify rhythmic groupings without creating a full structural break. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows composers, music engravers, and developers of digital sheet music software to accurately encode and display this specialized notational element across different platforms and applications.
