Bug Description
In movie/TV subtitles, the characters U+266A (♪) or U+266B (♫) are often used as shorthand to indicate that a character is singing. This notation is equally common in subtitle files downloaded from the Internet as well. In addition, a musical note glyph is available in both the ATSC and DVB captioning standards for TV; depending on the device used, it may be rendered either as U+266A or U+266B, though I believe the official documentation for both uses the glyph form of U+266A.
Given that the Ubuntu Font Family will be the default font used to render subtitles in many movie players under Ubuntu, I think these characters ought to be added to it.

This block will be filled out by the community; perhaps you could assist by helping to design these four glyphs? This should harmonise with the existing Ubuntu Font Family character set, and copyright-assigned before it can be accepted.
