U+1D15A "𝅚" Musical Symbol Cluster Notehead White Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝅚

U+1D15A "𝅚" Musical Symbol Cluster Notehead White is a specialized glyph within the Musical Symbols block used to represent a notehead that denotes a note with a specific rhythmic or pitch value in certain styles of music notation, particularly in early music or contemporary scores where a white, hollow cluster note is required. Unlike a standard filled-in notehead, this white cluster notehead indicates that multiple pitches are sounded simultaneously as a cluster, often without a precise interval structure, and its hollow appearance contrasts with black noteheads to signal a different articulation or duration. This symbol is part of the rich set of musical notations that Unicode supports for accurate digital representation of complex sheet music, ensuring that composers and musicologists can encode traditional and avant-garde musical texts with precision.
