    Although it contains U+1D19D MUSICAL SYMBOL ORNAMENT STROKE-3, the
    design is wrong:

    It is designed as a Pralltriller (inverted mordent), instead having
    one peak and one valley. The font by Ben Laenen does it right. See:

    On Mac OS X 10.4.10, I can see all of them in the Character Palette.
