All I see there is a breath mark. A caesura is two parallel diagonal lines (similar to repeat slashes but placed higher) indicating a short noticeable pause in the music. It is sometimes called a cutoff or "railroad tracks." A breath mark only indicates a break in the sound not necesarily in the time.

It is ID113 in unicode visible here: http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf

(the glossary should probably be extended to include "ceasura" as well).

Only if it tells how to get the correct symbol.

Thanks,

Paul
