Sori (music)


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 symbol together with Koron[3] encoding (encoded as U+1D1E9 and U+1D1EA) microtones used in modern Iranian classical music added to the Unicode standard[4] in Version 14.0.0.[5]
