U+1D198 "𝆘" Musical Symbol Inverted Turn Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝆘

U+1D198 "𝆘" Musical Symbol Inverted Turn is a notation sign used in musical scores to indicate a specific ornamental figure, instructing the performer to rapidly play a sequence of notes that essentially reverses the direction of a standard turn. Unlike a regular turn which begins above the written note and descends, the inverted turn starts with the note below the principal pitch, moves up to the main note, then ascends to the upper auxiliary before returning to the main note. This symbol belongs to the Musical Symbols block of Unicode and is intended for use in modern and historical music engraving, providing a precise digital representation for composers, editors, and musicologists working with complex ornamentation in both print and digital formats.
