About music symbols

Unicode's musical symbols block encodes the working vocabulary of Western notation โ€” clefs, noteheads, stems, beams, rests, accidentals and ornaments โ€” as text characters, so a score fragment can live in a line of type.

The everyday music characters are elsewhere: the single eighth note (โ™ช) and beamed notes (โ™ซ) come from the dingbat era and are the ones that paste reliably; the full notation set needs a specialist music font to render as more than boxes.
