The style is defined to use Century Schoolbook 14 point positioned as a superscript. I would represent that as a sequence of letters: D,the music flat symbol, m, 7. As an example, I may have a D Flat Minor 7th chord. Everything works fine until I have to use a flat ot sharp symbol in the chord designation.

Most people can see all three symbols, but some, especially Android users, might not see the natural sign.I am trying to document some songs and their guitar chords. Update: See this post on font support for Unicode. It would make it easier to search on specifically musical terms. It would be nice if people used sharp symbols rather than number signs. And why not? The number sign is conveniently located on a standard keyboard and the sharp sign isn’t. I’m sure most web pages referring to G-sharp would use the number sign # (U+0023) rather than the sharp sign ♯ (U+266F). The sharp sign raises an interesting question. Since the flat sign has Unicode value U+266D, you could enter ♭ into HTML to display that symbol. Here are the Unicode values for flat, natural, and sharp. So how do you display music symbols for flat, sharp, and natural in HTML? You can insert any symbol if you know its Unicode value, though you run the risk that someone viewing the page may not have the necessary fonts installed to view the symbol. In my previous post, I just spelled out B-flat because I thought that was safer it’s possible not everyone would have the fonts installed to display B♭ correctly. ![]() Apparently there’s no HTML entity for the flat symbol, ♭.
