White Chess Turned Pawn 🨣
🨣 (U+1FA23) is a standard Unicode character that you can copy and paste anywhere text is accepted. This page provides a concise reference with safe tips, internal links, and practical guidance so you can use it reliably across apps and platforms.
What it is and where it’s used: White Chess Turned Pawn is part of the Symbols family (block: Chess Symbols). If you need styled or decorative alternatives, try our Fancy Text tool to generate compatible text that works in most modern interfaces.
History & usage: WHITE CHESS TURNED PAWN depicts a turned pawn piece from chess, a symbol that can represent a reversed or altered pawn concept in text and UI. In messaging and interfaces, use the emoji to convey ideas, objects, or simple game-related content; the meaning depends on context. It can represent a chess motif, a game move, or a decision point in a flow. Designers should note appearance varies across platforms and fonts, so color, style, and detail may differ. Use thoughtfully in UI and text; keep intent clear and avoid ambiguity in formal content. If a platform lacks color emoji support, a monochrome or text-style fallback may be shown. For accessibility, ensure surrounding text conveys the intended meaning.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA23 in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
