U+1FA3A "🨺" Black Chess Queen Rotated Two Hundred Seventy Degrees Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

🨺

U+1FA3A "🨺" Black Chess Queen Rotated Two Hundred Seventy Degrees is a specialized chess symbol within the Unicode standard's Chess Symbols block, introduced in version 12.0 to support non standard chess variants and diagram annotations. This character depicts a standard black queen piece physically rotated 270 degrees from its upright position, effectively showing it tipped onto its right side with the crown pointing left. Its primary use is in chess notation systems that employ rotated pieces to indicate specific move outcomes, such as a piece being captured or displaced, or in certain problem compositions where orientation conveys additional game state information. Unlike standard chess piece characters, this rotated variant has limited typographic support and is intended for specialized contexts rather than general text communication.
