U+1D109 "𝄉" Musical Symbol Dal Segno Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝄉

U+1D109 "𝄉" Musical Symbol Dal Segno is a typographic mark used in musical notation to direct a performer to repeat a passage of music starting from the nearest preceding sign that looks like a stylized capital S with a line through it, often paired with the instruction "D.S." or "Dal Segno" meaning "from the sign." This symbol appears in the Unicode block for Musical Symbols, specifically in the range for Western classical and modern music notation, and it helps create structural organization in a score by indicating a jump back to an earlier section without requiring the entire passage to be rewritten. By itself, the character allows composers and arrangers to efficiently encode navigational instructions in digital sheet music, ensuring that performers know exactly where to resume playing when following a "Dal Segno" directive.
