U+1FA20 "🨠" White Chess Turned Rook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ðŸ¨
U+1FA20 "🨠" White Chess Turned Rook is a specialized symbol found within the Chess Symbols block, representing a white rook rotated 180 degrees from its standard upright orientation. This turned variant is primarily used in chess notation and puzzles to indicate a piece that has been flipped or inverted, often denoting a specific board state or move condition distinct from a regular rook. Unlike standard chess characters, the turned rook serves a niche purpose in advanced diagramming or variant rules, where orientation carries meaning beyond piece identity.
