Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D1C7 "𝇇" Musical Symbol Tempus Perfectum Cum Prolatione Perfecta is a notation from medieval and Renaissance mensural music, indicating a specific rhythmic meter where both the tempus (the division of the breve into semibreves) and the prolation (the division of the semibreve into minims) are perfect, meaning they are divided into three equal parts rather than two. This symbol visually represents a circle, often with a dot in the center, signifying a triple meter that corresponds to modern concepts of compound time, such as 9/8 or 3/4, and was used by composers to direct performers in interpreting the rhythmic flow of early polyphonic works. It is part of the Musical Symbols block in the Unicode standard, preserving a historical element of Western music theory for digital text and scholarly communication.
