U+1FA55 "🩕" White Chess Alfil Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
🩕
U+1FA55 "🩕" White Chess Alfil is a symbol from the chess symbols block, representing the white alfil, a piece that originated in medieval chess variants like Shatranj. Unlike the modern bishop, the alfil moves exactly two squares diagonally, leaping over any intervening piece, which makes it a relatively weak piece due to its limited range and color-bound nature. This character is part of a set designed to support historical and variant chess notation, appearing as a stylized, often triangular or elephant-like icon when rendered.
