Musical Symbol Half Pedal Mark Symbol Meaning
The character ๐ฐ is named โMUSICAL SYMBOL HALF PEDAL MARKโ and has Unicode code point U+1D1B0. In practical music notation, a half pedal mark signals a controlled or partial sustain effect rather than a full pedal depression. This helps describe nuanced performance details for instruments (most often pianos) where the sustain pedal changes resonance and clarity. When typesetting scores, writing performance notes, or building digital music documents, ๐ฐ provides a standardized character that can be copied into text and rendered by Unicode-capable fonts.
Common uses
