U+1D23E "𝈾" Greek Instrumental Notation Symbol-51 is a special character used to represent a specific pitch or musical instruction within the ancient Greek system of instrumental notation.

As part of the Greek and Coptic script block under the larger Unicode standard, this symbol helps preserve and encode the written musical traditions of classical antiquity.
