U+1D1BC "𝆺𝅥" Musical Symbol Minima Black is a historical musical notation glyph used in mensural notation from the Medieval and Renaissance periods, representing a specific note value known as the minima. This black notehead shape indicates a rhythmic duration that is half the length of a semibrevis in the context of white mensural notation, where notes were filled in to denote shorter values after a system shift from fully black to white notation. As part of the Musical Symbols block in Unicode, this character enables digital representation and typesetting of early music manuscripts, preserving the visual articulation of tempo and meter in compositions from the 14th to 16th centuries.
