U+1D1D5 "𝇕" Musical Symbol Clivis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝇕
U+1D1D5 "𝇕" Musical Symbol Clivis is a glyph from the Musical Symbols block used in early medieval neumatic notation, particularly in Gregorian chant manuscripts. This symbol represents a two note descending melodic figure, meaning it indicates that a sequence of two pitches should be sung in a downward motion, typically as a single ligature or connected gesture on the same syllable of text. It belongs to a class of neumes that served as precursors to modern musical notation, helping scribes convey specific melodic contours before the advent of the staff and precise pitch representation.
