U+1FA07 "🨇" Black Chess Knight Rotated Forty-Five Degrees is part of the Chess Symbols block, introduced in Unicode 11.0 (2018), and depicts a standard chess knight piece in black, rotated by 45 degrees relative to its usual upright orientation. This rotated variant is primarily used in chess notation and diagrams to indicate a specific directional movement or a rotated piece on the board, often in puzzles or studies where the orientation of the piece conveys additional positional information beyond its type and color. While not commonly used in standard chess play, it serves as a specialized symbol in digital and typographic representations of chess positions.
