Unicode Version 17.0
🩖
U+1FA56 "🩖" Black Chess Ferz is part of the Chess Symbols block, added in Unicode version 12.0, and represents a black ferz, a piece derived from Persian chess that moves one square diagonally in any direction, analogous to the modern queen but with limited range. This symbol is used in historical chess variants and fairy chess problems to denote a piece distinct from the standard rook, knight, bishop, queen, or king, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital representation of non standard chess sets and notation systems.
