U+1FA0C "🨌" White Chess Bishop Rotated Ninety Degrees Unicode Character

U+1FA0C "🨌" White Chess Bishop Rotated Ninety Degrees is a specialized symbol within the Chess Symbols block, representing a standard white bishop chess piece that has been turned on its side, rotated by a quarter turn. Its primary purpose is for use in chess notation and puzzles where the orientation of the piece conveys specific information, such as indicating that the bishop was captured or is lying on the board, or for use in diagram construction where spatial rotation matters. While visually distinct from the upright standard bishop (U+265D), it maintains the same semantic meaning of the white bishop, differing only in its rotated appearance for specialized diagramming or annotation contexts.
