Sori (music)
Symbol used in traditional Persian music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sori (Persian: سُری) is a symbol that corresponds to a quarter step higher in tone in Persian traditional music.[1] It is written as a ">" sign, crossed by two vertical lines, and can be used like an accidental.
In the early 20th century, Iranian master musician Ali-Naqi Vaziri established this sign for the sori for use in written Persian music using standard western notation.[2]
Character representation of this accidental together with the koron microtone used in modern Iranian classical music were added to the Unicode standard in Version 14.0 as U+1D1E9 and U+1D1EA, respectively.[3][4]
