Unicode Version 17.0
𝄓
U+1D113 "𝄓" Musical Symbol Caesura is a notation mark used in musical scores to indicate a sudden break or interruption in the flow of sound, typically placed above the staff. This symbol, resembling two parallel slanted lines, directs performers to pause briefly between notes or phrases without a specified duration, often creating a dramatic or breath-like separation. It is distinct from a fermata, which indicates a held note, as the caesura implies a complete stop in time, allowing for a moment of silence or transition.
