U+1D1DE "𝇞" Musical Symbol Kievan C Clef is a specialized glyph used in the Kievan notation system, a medieval musical notation tradition from the Kyivan Rus region that served as a precursor to modern Slavic church music. This clef symbol indicates the position of middle C on the staff, functioning similarly to the modern alto or tenor C clef but with a distinctive, stylized shape that reflects the unique calligraphic and liturgical practices of Eastern Orthodox chant. It is encoded in the Musical Symbols block of the Unicode standard to support digital preservation and typographic reproduction of historical Slavic musical manuscripts.
