I'm interested in representing one of the so-called Hurrian songs
(tablet H.6, containing musical notation) with Unicode, cf.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrian_songs

A much better drawing of the tablet can be found here on page 503:

The character in question is the first one on the left after the
double line.

A nice article on this song can be found here:
