What the three clefs fix
A clef fixes one note on the staff. As treble clef the G clef puts the G above middle C on the second line; as bass clef the F clef puts the F below middle C on the fourth. The C clef marks middle C: on the third line it is the alto clef, on the fourth the tenor clef.
Typing a musical clef
No keyboard has a clef key or a keyboard shortcut for one, and there is no Alt code: the clef symbols lie above 65,535, past the numbers an Alt code can reach. In HTML the treble clef is 𝄞 and the bass clef 𝄢.
No clef is an emoji: the nearest emoji is 🎼, musical score.
