.Under 'Symbols', could we add the planetary symbols? I'm thinking:
☉ · ☾ · ☽ · ☿ · ♀ · 🜨 · ♁ · ♂ · ⚳ · ⚴ · ⚶ · ♃ · ♄ · ⛢ · ♅ · ♆ · ♇ · ⯓ · ⯰ · ⯲
♀ · ♂ are of course used in biology as well. If that's too many, we could leave out the alt symbols and the large planetoids, which aren't used as much as the others:
☉ · ☾ · ☿ · ♀ · 🜨 · ♂ · ♃ · ♄ · ⛢ · ♆
When ppl choose symbols from some other source, there tend to be errors like using the mathematical circled plus instead of the Earth symbol.
I don't know if it matters very much where we put them, but I thought maybe near the end, just before © ® ™ ◌. — kwami ( talk) 22:45, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
At the very least, I think the symbols for the Sun and Earth (ubiquitous in astronomy), plus Mars and Venus (ubiquitous in biology) should be added. Though once you get there, then at least version 2 with all the pre-2006 planets seems logical. Double sharp ( talk) 19:47, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
Might be best to hold off on this, if my conjecture regarding the failure of the double accidentals is right. 🜨 (the Earth symbol) is U+1F728, outside the BMP. Double sharp ( talk) 16:15, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Now that the BMP problem is fixed, could I request that Sol + Luna + major planets be added (the 2nd option above)?

I would like to propose that the double accidentals be added. Currently we have
♭ · ♯ · ♮
showing the three most common accidentals in common-practice Western musical notation (flat, sharp, and natural), but this isn't enough for referring to notes especially in 19th-century music which often makes heavier use of such alterations. Often double flats (𝄫) and double sharps (𝄪) are needed.
Also, the current order doesn't go from lowest to highest alteration, so I find it a bit unintuitive. Therefore I would suggest:
𝄫 · ♭ · ♮ · ♯ · 𝄪
as a more logical sequence.
Until recently 𝄫 and 𝄪 did not show up on most systems, so {{
Music}}
uses images for them. The huge number of links to the images
File:Doubleflat.svg (𝄫) and
File:DoubleSharp.svg (𝄪) suggests that these could receive heavy use now that they are showing up more generally.

For some reason, it lists some vowels, notably ɛ (which is an open-mid front unrounded vowel) as close-mids, and it shouldn’t be like this БудетЛучше ( talk) 18:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
