U+1FA3E "🨾" Black Chess Pawn Rotated Two Hundred Seventy Degrees Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1FA3E "🨾" Black Chess Pawn Rotated Two Hundred Seventy Degrees is a specialized symbol within the Chess Symbols block, representing a standard chess pawn but oriented at a 270 degree angle, effectively pointing downward or to the left depending on the original orientation. This rotated variation is used primarily in chess diagrams and notation systems to indicate a pawn that has been moved, captured, or is in a non-standard position, similar to its 90 and 180 degree counterparts. It maintains the simple iconic shape of a chess pawn, a small rounded head above a tapered base, while the rotation provides specific spatial information for game analysis or puzzle layouts. Being part of the larger set of rotated chess pieces, this character helps players and programmers visually represent complex board states without relying on text labels. As of the Unicode 11.0 release in 2018, it is included to support detailed and flexible chess documentation across digital platforms.
