'''Musical Symbols''' is a [[Unicode block]] containing characters for representing modern [[musical notation]]. Fonts that support it include ''Bravura'', ''Euterpe'', ''[[FreeSerif]]'', ''Musica'' and ''[[Symbola]]''. The Standard Music Font Layout ([[SMuFL]]), which is supported by the [[MusicXML]] format, expands on the Musical Symbols Unicode Block's 220 glyphs by using the Private Use Area in the Basic Multilingual Plane, permitting close to 2600 glyphs.<ref>{{cite web| title = Standard Music Font Layout website|date= 7 February 2013|url= https://www.smufl.org/about/| accessdate = 2018-02-24}}</ref>
