U+1D189 "𝆉" Musical Symbol Combining Bend Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝆉
U+1D189 "𝆉" Musical Symbol Combining Bend is a specialized mark found in the Musical Symbols block, designed for use in musical notation to indicate a pitch bend, meaning a smooth, continuous slide upward or downward from one note to another. Unlike a standard glissando or portamento marking, this combining symbol is placed directly after a musical note on a staff and modifies that specific pitch, functioning as a diacritical mark that blends with the preceding character to refine articulation in modern or experimental music scores. Its encoding ensures precise digital representation and interchange of such nuanced performance instructions across software and platforms.
