U+1D199 "𝆙" Musical Symbol Turn Slash Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𝆙

U+1D199 "𝆙" Musical Symbol Turn Slash is a notation mark found in the Musical Symbols block, specifically within the range used for classical and modern Western music notation. This symbol resembles an inverted "S" shape or a standard turn ornament (often written above a note to indicate a rapid alternation with its upper neighbor) but with a diagonal slash drawn through its center. The slash modifies the execution of the turn, typically instructing the performer to alter the ornament's pattern, such as starting on the lower auxiliary note instead of the upper one, or to incorporate a chromatic alteration. Its inclusion in Unicode allows composers and arrangers to accurately encode this specific performance instruction in digital sheet music, ensuring that the intended ornamentation is preserved across different software and platforms.
