U+1FA24 "🨤" Black Chess Turned King is a specialized symbol introduced as part of the Chess Symbols block in Unicode version 12.0, representing a chess king piece that is both black and rotated 90 degrees from its standard orientation. It is intended for use in chess notation or diagrams where the specific orientation of the king piece matters, such as indicating a rotated board or a promotional variant. Visually, it depicts the classic king form with a cross atop its crown, rendered in black fill to denote the dark side, but set in a turned position that distinguishes it from the standard upright king.
