Unicode Version 17.0

𝄰

U+1D130 "𝄰" Musical Symbol Sharp Up is a specialized notation used in Western music engraving to indicate a note that is raised by a half step, but with the sharp symbol oriented in a vertically upward position rather than the standard diagonal or horizontal orientation. This variant is part of the Musical Symbols block, which contains a comprehensive set of signs for precise representation of musical scores in digital text. The "Sharp Up" form is typically employed in certain historical or contemporary notational styles, particularly in microtonal or advanced compositional contexts, where the vertical orientation helps clarify the pitch adjustment in complex harmonic or melodic passages. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that musicians, musicologists, and software developers can encode and display this specific symbol consistently across different platforms and applications.
