U+1D1BB "𝆹𝅥" Musical Symbol Minima Unicode Character

U+1D1BB "𝆹𝅥" Musical Symbol Minima is a historical notation glyph used primarily in white mensural notation from the late medieval and Renaissance periods, where it represents a note value equivalent to a modern half note or minim. This symbol, also known as a "minim" or "half note" in early music contexts, appears as a hollow, stemmed note head without a flag, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard allows for accurate digital representation and typesetting of early musical manuscripts and scholarly editions. Its existence in the Musical Symbols block helps preserve and reproduce the nuanced rhythmic and notational practices of Western European music before the standardized modern staff notation emerged.
