U+1D1B0 "𝆰" Musical Symbol Half Pedal Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝆰
U+1D1B0 "𝆰" Musical Symbol Half Pedal Mark is a notation used in sheet music to instruct a piano or organ player to depress the sustain pedal halfway rather than fully, creating a subtler, partially dampened resonance. This symbol, part of the Musical Symbols block, typically appears beneath the grand staff and indicates a nuanced pedal technique where the dampers briefly touch the strings to reduce sustain without completely muting the sound. It helps performers achieve a delicate, intermediate articulation that falls between full pedal use and no pedal at all.
