U+1D152 "𝅒" Musical Symbol Moon Notehead White Unicode Character

U+1D152 "𝅒" Musical Symbol Moon Notehead White is a specialized glyph used in Western musical notation to represent a notehead shaped like a crescent or half moon, typically drawn as an open, white (unfilled) oval with a curved, lunar contour. This symbol is part of the Musical Symbols block, which was added to Unicode to support precise typesetting of modern and historical scores. Unlike standard noteheads, such as the common oval, the moon notehead is employed in specific compositional contexts to indicate a particular timbral effect, a muted or harmonically altered tone, or a notational variant in experimental music. Its inclusion in Unicode allows digital music software and fonts to accurately render this rare symbol for scholarly editions, sheet music publishing, and archival preservation of avant-garde works.
