Unicode Version 17.0
𝇂
U+1D1C2 "𝇂" Musical Symbol Longa Imperfecta Rest is a specialized glyph used in modern editions of early Western music notation, specifically within the context of mensural notation from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. This symbol represents a rest of extended duration, equivalent to the value of a longa note, but marked as "imperfect" meaning it is divided into three breves rather than two, reflecting the ternary rhythmic structures common in that era. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for accurate digital representation and scholarly typesetting of historical scores, preserving the nuanced rhythmic practices of early polyphonic music.
