U+26C3 "⛃" Black Draughts King Unicode Character

U+26C3 "⛃" Black Draughts King is a typographic symbol used to represent a king piece in the game of draughts, also known as checkers, specifically the black or dark-colored crowned piece that has been promoted to a king after reaching the opponent's back row. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols Unicode block and is rendered as a distinct glyph with a solid black circle or double-stacked shape, often resembling a crowned checker piece, to differentiate it from the standard black draughts man. This character is used in digital text, game notation, and board game representations where visual clarity for game states is required, and it pairs with its white counterpart, U+26C0, to denote opposing crowned pieces.
