U+1CF9D "𜾝" Znamenny Neume Strela Dvoechelnopovodnaya is a musical symbol used in Znamenny chant, a traditional form of liturgical singing within the Russian Orthodox Church. This particular neume, whose name translates roughly to "arrow with two boats and a water conduit," represents a specific melodic figure that guides the pitch, rhythm, and expressive phrasing of the chant, which is written in a notation system based on hooks, lines, and other shapes rather than modern Western staff notation. The addition of this character to Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the rich heritage of Old Russian sacred music, allowing scholars, musicians, and software users to accurately encode and reproduce these ancient liturgical manuscripts.
