U+1D1AE "𝆮" Musical Symbol Pedal Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝆮
U+1D1AE "𝆮" Musical Symbol Pedal Mark is a notation symbol used in musical scores to instruct a performer, typically a pianist or organist, to press and hold the sustain pedal (or damper pedal) on their instrument. This mark, belonging to the Musical Symbols block, appears in sheet music as a horizontal line or bracket placed beneath the staff, indicating the precise moment to depress the pedal and, with a corresponding release mark, when to lift it. By allowing notes to resonate and blend together after the keys are released, this symbol is essential for achieving the legato, sustained, or washed-out sound qualities often found in romantic, impressionist, and modern piano music.
