This character is read aloud as "C clef" or, when placed on a specific staff line, as "alto clef" or "tenor clef." It is used in musical notation to indicate the position of middle C on the staff, with the symbolโs center (the point between the two curves) marking the line that represents that pitch.
The C clef appears most often in modern music for viola (alto clef) and for certain bassoon, cello, or trombone passages (tenor clef). In historical music, it was also used for vocal parts and other instruments, though its range of applications has narrowed over time.
