Implementation notes
These noteheads should be combined with stems and flags as necessary to create complete notes. In text-based applications, per the Unicode Musical Symbols documentation:
Scoring applications should draw stems using primitives, rather than using stem (i.e. U+1D165 as shown in the above image1), so that they can be drawn to the correct length.
See also the implementation notes for flags.
