Xiangqi Black Elephant 🩩
🩩 (U+1FA69) 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: Xiangqi Black Elephant 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: XIANGQI BLACK ELEPHANT depicts the elephant piece from xiangqi. Use it in messages to represent the animal, a game piece, or a symbol of strength and strategy. In interfaces, include this emoji to illustrate related content about xiangqi, board games, or ancient warfare symbols. It can appear in educational material to label game pieces or explain piece movements, while keeping language clear and direct. Designers may use it in prompts, tutorials, or chat examples that discuss traditional games, strategy, or symbolism. 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 and provide alt text or a descriptive label when needed. Cross-platform appearance varies by platform, app, and font.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+1FA69 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.
