U+1D1CC "𝇌" Musical Symbol Tempus Imperfectum Cum Prolatione Imperfecta Diminution-1 Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D1CC "𝇌" Musical Symbol Tempus Imperfectum Cum Prolatione Imperfecta Diminution-1 is a specialized glyph used in the notation of medieval and Renaissance mensural music, specifically representing a complex time signature that indicates a perfect or ternary division of the breve (tempus imperfectum) and the semibreve (prolation imperfecta), with an additional diminution or reduction in note values by a factor of one. This symbol belongs to the Unicode Musical Symbols block and serves as a historical notation tool for scholars, performers, and editors working with early music scores, where it visually communicates a rhythmic framework that is both imperfect (binary) in its larger structure and imperfect in its smaller subdivisions, while also signaling a proportional tempo change. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation and interchange of this obsolete but culturally significant notation from the Ars Nova and subsequent periods of Western music history.
