This symbol belongs to the Musical Symbols block within Unicode and depicts a notehead shaped like the letter X, contrasting with the standard oval noteheads that indicate precise musical pitches. It is commonly found in modern and contemporary music compositions, particularly for instruments like drums, cymbals, or stringed instruments being struck percussively, and also appears in vocal music to signify spoken or shouted tones.
