U+1FA36 "🨶" White Chess Bishop Rotated Two Hundred Seventy Degrees is a specialized symbol within the Chess Symbols block used for representing a rotated chess piece, specifically a white bishop that has been turned 270 degrees clockwise. This rotation is often employed in chess notation diagrams or problem compositions to indicate a piece that has been placed on its side, typically signifying that it is no longer in play, has been captured, or is used in a nonstandard variant. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for precise digital representation of such positional states in chess puzzles and instructional materials.
