A dominant seventh carrying a ninth on top.

Written the other way round it is E♭9 — the same twelve keys on a piano, a different piece of notation.

What is true of it

D♯9 is D♯, F𝄪, A♯, C♯ and E♯ — 1, 3, 5, b7 and 9 counted from D♯.

F𝄪 is a double sharp, and it has to be: every letter from D♯ upwards is used once, so the 3 cannot be written any other way.

On an instrument that cannot reach all 5, the 5 and 1 go first, in that order.
