Notes and accidentals
The quarter note โฉ, eighth note โช and beamed notes โซ and โฌ are the most widely supported music characters and look good almost everywhere. Sharps โฏ, flats โญ and naturals โฎ are handy for writing chord names like Fโฏm or Bโญ in plain text. These classic symbols are perfect for captions, karaoke lyrics and playlist titles.
Clefs, rests and notation
Symbols like the treble clef ๐, the bass clef ๐ข and the various rests come from a dedicated Unicode block for Western musical notation. They are great for music teachers, students and choir notes, but they rely on fonts that not every device includes. If you see empty boxes instead of symbols, the classic notes above are a safer choice.
