Unicode Version 17.0
🨬
U+1FA2C "🨬" Neutral Chess Turned Rook is a specialized symbol within the Chess Symbols block, introduced in Unicode 12.0 to represent a neutral piece that has been rotated or turned, indicating it no longer belongs to either player in a variant chess game. This character is typically used in chess notation systems to denote a rook that has undergone a transformation, such as when a piece is "neutralized" or stands upright on the board as a marker rather than a standard playing piece. Its design shows a conventional rook shape rotated 180 degrees, distinguishing it from standard white or black rooks and serving a functional role in advanced chess compositions or problem sets.
