The standard used to define the characters is Unicode

See Unicode Miscellaneous Symbols (includes common music symbols like ♯) and Unicode Musical Symbols (other music symbols) -- I did a search for "unicode musical symbols", there are many more hits.

Happy coding.

See How to enter Unicode characters in Microsoft Windows -- or use the Windows Character Map. However, you need to know the code-point (or general code-point area) :-) Other operating systems have different input methods and utilities.

A quick google search find the following page which lists entity codes for musical notes:

It is in Unicode, and you can insert any Unicode character by putting this in HTML/xHTML markup:

♬

Gives ♬, i.e. you put &#x and suffix it with the Hex code of the character (end it with ;)

P.S: This technique is used as the last resort when facing character encoding problems.

There are utilities for picking characters from unicode distributed with most operating systems.
