Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D1E4 "𝇤" Musical Symbol Kievan Quarter Note Stem Down is a specific glyph within the Musical Symbols block that represents a note used in the Kievan square notation system, a medieval musical notation tradition primarily associated with Slavic liturgical chant. This character designates a quarter note with its stem pointing downward, indicating a pitch that is sung or played for a quarter of a whole note's duration in the context of Kievan chant. Unlike modern standard notation, this symbol is part of a historical system where square and rectangular noteheads are placed on a staff with specific rhythmic and neumatic implications. It forms part of a larger Unicode set that preserves and digitizes these ancient musical notations, ensuring compatibility for scholars, liturgists, and digital archives focused on eastern European sacred music.
