Well, to say the truth, I don't even know whether it is standard sign. My "original"
is first(?) edition of solfegio colledge-book, and the only piece of info there is:
"This sign after the time shows place of tonic". Also, it seems that this sign hasn't
any special curves in it, it consists from three straight lines, one of them - vertical
one - has width of note stems, height of note stems, and is to the left. To the right &
centered vertically is kinda '=' sign in size of note head ( inner square). It is
placed
just like a note, & '=' shows placing of tonic if it were a note head. Both lines of
'='
also have width & height of stems.

very close :).
But, ... I think that this is more general problem, as it was mentioned in this list,
the
ability to place possibly any TeX symbol on the staff. Just another example:
when discussing solfegio dictants, they show in the book plain ( w/o notes) staff,
and on it there are roman digits, marking basis of chords students have heard,
separated
with bars.
