U+1D16D "𝅭" Musical Symbol Combining Augmentation Dot Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝅭

U+1D16D "𝅭" Musical Symbol Combining Augmentation Dot is a diacritical mark used in musical notation to modify the duration of a note, traditionally indicating that the note should be lengthened by half of its original value, though in modern practice it often adds one or two additional dots to a notehead to create a dotted or double-dotted rhythm. This combining character is designed to be placed directly after or above a standard musical note symbol within a text or score, allowing it to interact typographically with the base glyph. As part of the Unicode Musical Symbols block, it supports the digital representation of complex Western sheet music, enabling precise rendering of rhythmic alterations in plain text or specialized music software.
