U+1D17E "𝅾" Musical Symbol Combining Staccatissimo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝅾

U+1D17E "𝅾" Musical Symbol Combining Staccatissimo is a diacritical mark used in musical notation to indicate that a note should be played with an extremely short, sharp, and detached articulation, even more pronounced than a standard staccato. It appears as a small, filled-in triangle or wedge typically placed above or below a notehead, depending on the stem direction, and is part of the Musical Symbols block (U+1D100–U+1D1FF) within the Unicode standard, designed to support the digital representation of precise musical scores. The staccatissimo is often employed in classical and contemporary compositions to convey a crisp, percussive effect, and this combining character is intended to be applied directly over a preceding note symbol in text-based musical encoding.
