== Sagittal notation ==
In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \\! }} and is called the '''25 small diesis''', or '''25S''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 25/1 = 5×5 (equiv. 25/16), as for example in E{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | b }}-B{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | \\! }}. The upward version is called '''1/25S''' or '''25S up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| //| }}.
