Beamed Ascending Musical Notes

6/131

🎜 is a broad music cue: it can mean music, a performance, or background sound. Sent alone, this rising music symbol says “music here” without naming a song or mood. Its design appeared in Webdings before Unicode made it usable as text beyond that font.

What 🎜 means

Use 🎜 as a broad cue for music or performance. A message can use it for listening, playing, singing, or a soundtrack; nearby words set the scene.

It shows two notes joined by a beam that slopes upward.

The Webdings music symbol was a font-mapped graphic: Webdings, a Microsoft dingbat font, was designed in 1997 for web-page graphics. Unicode later encoded the same design as text, so the character no longer depended on Webdings to travel between applications. In Microsoft Word (2024), enter 1F39C and press AltX.

Is 🎜 the same as ?

No. 🎜 is a music cue; marks two specific notes. is the notation sign for two sixteenth notes—a particular rhythm value in written music. 🎜 is pictorial, not an instruction for what a performer should play.

The beam on 🎜 rises; is the descending companion. shows one note.

Neutral and decorative: it marks music without specifying a song, mood, pitch, or rhythm.

Do not treat it as an instruction for a performer about pitch or rhythm.

Why does 🎜 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
