It's called an H-Clair, and it's an essential part of sheet music notation.

It was invented by T.S. Clair in the 1940s.

Clair's daughter, Taylor Clair, founded Rules Publishing Ltd. in 1999.

    I really would like to know whence you came up with this.

    It was something I made up while playing with a Magna-Doodle when I was like 9

    I was writing the letter H but I was holding the stylus in such a way that the magnet was close enough to still draw when I lifted it, and it made a shape that looked like that

    So I made up a backstory for the new symbol I accidentally drew

    I was a weird child

    You know how there's a treble clef, and a bass clef?

    Now imagine a new kind of clef, and call it Marty.

    That's kind of what an H-Clair would almost be like, if it were.
