U+1D1D9 "𝇙" Musical Symbol Porrectus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝇙
U+1D1D9 "𝇙" Musical Symbol Porrectus is a glyph from the Musical Symbols block used in the notation of Gregorian chant and early medieval Western music. This neume symbol represents a specific melodic figure typically consisting of three notes, where the first note rises, the second note descends, and the third note moves upward again, forming a zigzag or angular shape in the musical line. The porrectus is one of several compound neumes that guided singers in interpreting the melody, rhythm, and expression of the chant before the advent of modern staff notation. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation and preservation of historical musical manuscripts and scholarly works.
