Chess Pieces
Unicode includes all chess pieces: white king to pawn (♔ ♕ ♖ ♗ ♘ ♙, U+2654 to U+2659) and black king to pawn (♚ ♛ ♜ ♝ ♞ ♟, U+265A to U+265F). You can use them for diagrams, notes, posts or decoration.
The names “white” and “black” describe the design, not the color you will see: the “white” pieces are outlines and the “black” pieces are filled. What you actually see is simply your text color, so on a dark background the outlined pieces can be hard to tell apart from the filled ones.
Practical Tips
- For game notation, the usual letters (K, Q, R, B, N) work in every field. Use the piece symbols for figurine-style notation or visual flair.
- The black pawn ♟ may appear as a colored emoji on some systems. If you want it plain, test it first.
- A text chess board made from pieces needs a monospaced font, or the squares will not line up.
- Outlined and filled pieces are easy to mix up on a dark background. Check contrast before posting.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Unicode range for chess pieces?
U+2654 to U+2659 for the white pieces and U+265A to U+265F for the black ones.
Why does my pawn show in color?
The black pawn has an emoji version on some systems. Another font or field may show it as plain text.
Can I draw a whole chess board with these?
Yes, with a monospaced font so the columns align. For serious diagrams, a chess board image or diagram tool is more reliable.
