U+1D114 "𝄔" Musical Symbol Brace Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝄔
U+1D114 "𝄔" Musical Symbol Brace is a typographic and notational element used in musical scores to group together multiple staves that are to be performed simultaneously, most commonly found in keyboard music for piano or organ where the treble and bass clefs are joined into a single grand staff. Unlike the common curly bracket seen in text, this specific musical brace is designed with elegant curves and a precise size that aligns vertically across the five lines of each staff, ensuring clarity for the performer. Its inclusion in Unicode allows composers and music typesetters to accurately represent this standard notation in digital documents and software without relying on graphical images.
