U+1FA11 "🨑" Black Chess Rook Rotated Ninety Degrees is a symbol from the Chess Symbols block, included in Unicode version 12.0 released in 2019. It depicts a solid or filled black chess rook, specifically rotated a quarter turn clockwise from its standard upright orientation. This rotation is not a stylistic variant but a distinct glyph intended for use in specialized chess notation or diagrams, particularly for representing pieces on a board that have been tilted or oriented differently, often in puzzles, problem compositions, or when indicating piece movement or position in a non standard alignment. The character complements its rotated white counterpart and other rotated chess pieces, serving as a typographic tool for clarity in advanced chess documentation.
