History & usage: The MUSICAL SYMBOL DASHED BARLINE depicts a dashed barline. It acts as a punctuation mark that structures text and conveys tone, especially when discussing music notation or related topics. In use, it marks a division with a lighter break rather than a full stop, guiding rhythm or flow in writing about scores. It also reflects how style and locale can change conventions for inserting this symbol, making it a flexible indicator in different texts. Cross‑platform rendering may vary, so rely on consistent font choices. For accessibility, provide a clear description so screen readers convey its role as a separator and rhythm cue to all readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1D104 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
