U+1D153 "𝅓" Musical Symbol Moon Notehead Black Unicode Character

U+1D153 "𝅓" Musical Symbol Moon Notehead Black is a specialized glyph from the Musical Symbols block, designed for use in modern music notation to represent a notehead shaped like a crescent or moon, distinct from the standard oval notehead. This black filled symbol is typically employed in avant-garde or experimental scores to indicate a specific timbre, duration, or performance technique, often alongside other non traditional noteheads like circles or crosses. Its inclusion in Unicode allows composers and music engravers to digitally encode and share such alternative notations across platforms, preserving the visual intent of the music while relying on a standard character code.
