U+1D12C "𝄬" Musical Symbol Flat Up Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝄬
U+1D12C "𝄬" Musical Symbol Flat Up is a specialized notation used in Western musical typography to instruct a performer to lower the pitch of a note by a semitone, but with an upward directional adjustment intended to resolve the note to an even higher pitch. Unlike a standard flat sign, this symbol appears in advanced contemporary or microtonal scores where precise intonation and leading tone gestures are notated for string players or vocalists. It is part of the Musical Symbols block, which was added to Unicode to support complex engraving needs in digital music publishing.
