How to type them
- Windows: ♪ is Alt + 13 and ♫ is Alt + 14 on the numeric keypad.
- Word: type the code and press Alt + X: 266A for ♪, 266B for ♫, 266F for ♯, 266D for ♭.
- HTML:
♪for ♪,♫for ♫,♯or♯for ♯,♭or♭for ♭.
The clefs (𝄞 𝄢) are in a newer part of Unicode, so some older fonts don't include them. If they show as boxes, use a different font or the 🎼 emoji.
Sharp ♯ vs. hashtag #
The sharp sign ♯ and the number sign # look alike, but they're different characters. In chord names like C♯ or F♯m, the real sharp sign looks better, while most people type # because it's on the keyboard. Both are understood. Similarly, the flat sign ♭ is often replaced by a lowercase b (Bb).
