History & usage: The character depicts the official name NEUTRAL CHESS TURNED ROOK. Use it to signal chess topics in messages or interfaces, such as indicating a rook piece, a chess move, or a strategic concept in game apps. It can serve in documentation or tutorials to label sections about board pieces or game rules, and in UI design to mark features related to chess content or board layouts. The emoji can appear in cross‑platform messaging to convey neutral or non‑ambiguous board imagery while staying clear in plain text contexts. Appearance may vary across platforms, apps, and fonts, so designs differ in color and detail; ensure surrounding text clarifies meaning. For accessibility, provide clear surrounding text that conveys the intended chess meaning for screen readers.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA2C 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.
