0x1D11E

0x1D11E refers to the Unicode code point U+1D11E, known as the MUSICAL SYMBOL G CLEF. It is part of the Musical Symbols block in Unicode and is represented by the glyph 𝄞. This character is used in Western music notation to designate the treble clef, marking the G line on the staff.

In practical terms, the G clef places G above middle C on the second line from the bottom of the staff, which in standard treble notation corresponds to G4. The symbol is widely used in vocal and instrumental music scores to indicate the pitch range for the staff currently in use. Its inclusion in Unicode enables consistent digital representation of sheet music across platforms and fonts, particularly those that implement the SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) standard.

Technical details include its placement in the supplementary multilingual plane (SMP) of Unicode, with the code point U+1D11E. In decimal, this is 119070. In UTF-8, the character is encoded as the byte sequence F0 9D 84 9E. Rendering depends on font support; not all fonts include a fully formed G clef glyph, but fonts designed for music notation and SMuFL-compliant music fonts typically provide a high-quality glyph.

Applications of 0x1D11E are primarily in digital notation, typesetting of scores, and fonts used for music publishing. While it is a standardized character, its appearance can vary between typefaces, and its use is restricted to contexts involving musical notation rather than general text.
