Musical notation symbols carry centuries of cultural weight. The ♪ and ♫ characters derive from actual sheet music notation—eighth notes that musicians read daily.

They're among the most recognized symbols globally, immediately understood as representing sound, rhythm, and musical expression.
These symbols found digital life through Unicode's inclusion of musical characters, originally for technical documentation but quickly adopted for decorative purposes. Today they're essential for anyone building music-related content, from playlist descriptions to band promotion to music community spaces.

Symbol Types Explained

Styling Tips
