Hi there,
I just cannot find any free google font that has a violin key in it. I need a violin key as font within a webpage. Also found some hints that it is possible to implement such via unicode code 1D11E. Anyone ever tried to do so successfully?
Thanks for any hints... Marc

&# 119070 ;
&#x 1d11e ;
But otherwise: -
Lots of great freebies on DaFont,

I recommend somehting like the typetester tool for checking how fonts display certain characters. You could put the 1D11E character in there to see if you can find something that is relevant.

If the fonts you like are too expensive or you found a picture that you'd like to use instead, but for whtever reason need it as a font, it is possible to convert it into a font. The image has to be a vector image though. Here is a good guide on how to do that. One place to look for images that can be a good fit for icon fonts is the "Musical Note" section of the Noun Project. If you choose to go that way, do pay attention to the licensing.
