Music Symbols and Their Meanings
Music notation uses symbols to show pitch, timing, and expression. The note symbols show duration: a quarter note ♩ is one beat, an eighth note ♪ is half a beat, and beamed notes ♫ ♬ join shorter notes together. The accidentals change pitch, a sharp ♯ raises a note a semitone, a flat ♭ lowers it a semitone, and a natural ♮ cancels a previous sharp or flat.
Other common notation symbols include clefs (the treble or G clef and the bass or F clef) that set the pitch of the staff; rests (whole, half, quarter, and eighth rests) that mark silence; the repeat sign that tells you to play a section again; and the coda and segno that mark jumps in the music. These clef, rest, repeat, and coda symbols only exist in an extended Unicode range that many devices cannot display, so they often appear as empty boxes, which is why this page focuses on the note and accidental symbols that copy and paste reliably everywhere.
