U+1FA6C "🩬" Xiangqi Black Cannon Unicode Character

U+1FA6C "🩬" Xiangqi Black Cannon is a specific symbol representing the black cannon piece from the Chinese board game Xiangqi, also known as Chinese chess. This character was added to the Unicode Standard as part of version 14.0 in 2021, belonging to the Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement block, though it is primarily used in digital representations of Xiangqi gameplay. The cannon is a powerful piece that moves like a chariot but must jump over exactly one piece to capture an opponent's piece, and the black version indicates it is used by the second player in the traditional two player game.
