Editing Chess symbols in Unicode (section)

==Unicode blocks==
Unicode 15.1 specifies a total of 110 spread across two blocks. The standard set of chess pieces—[[King (chess)|king]], [[Queen (chess)|queen]], [[Rook (chess)|rook]], [[Bishop (chess)|bishop]], [[Knight (chess)|knight]], or [[Pawn (chess)|pawn]], with [[White and Black in chess|white and black]] variants—were included in the block [[Miscellaneous Symbols]]. In Unicode 12.0, the [[Chess Symbols (Unicode block)|Chess Symbols]] block (U+1FA00–U+1FA6F) was allocated for inclusion of extra chess piece representations. This includes [[fairy chess pieces]], such as rotated pieces, neutral (neither white nor black) pieces, knighted pieces, equihoppers, as well as [[xiangqi]] pieces.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1FA00.pdf |title=Chess Symbols |website=unicode.org |publisher=Unicode Consortium |access-date=21 August 2023}}</ref>

In 2024, four [[shatranj]] pieces have been provisionally assigned for a future version in the range U+1FA54–U+1FA57.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2024/24020-shatranj-symbols.pdf |title=Unicode request for ''shatranj'' symbols |last1=Bala |first1=Gavin Jared |last2=Miller |first2=Kirk |date=22 December 2023 |website=unicode.org |publisher=Unicode Consortium |access-date=4 February 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://unicode.org/alloc/Pipeline.html |title=Proposed New Characters: The Pipeline |author=Unicode |date= |website=unicode.org |access-date=4 February 2024}}</ref>
