From http://users.bigpond.net.au/d.keenan/sagittal/ :
"The Sagittal notation system is a comprehensive system for notating
musical pitch in all possible scales and tunings - a universal set of
microtonal accidentals, equally suited to extended just intonation,
equal divisions of the octave (or of any other interval), or any of
the non-just non-equal "middle path" tunings or temperaments. It is
called Sagittal because, you guessed it, it uses various arrow-like
symbols, pointing up or down to indicate raising or lowering of
pitch."
I think Sagittal should be added to Unicode because it's a complete
and usable system, it's becoming the de facto standard for microtonal
music, and no existing Unicode characters are sufficiently similar to
be considered equivalent.
Should I go ahead and write a proposal according the instructions at
http://www.unicode.org/pending/proposals.html ?
