Talk:Chess symbols in Unicode

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Weird. The chess characters have to be significantly enlarged to be the same size as letters. Thus it becomes hard to just have Nf3 where the N symbol looks good next to the f3.--Sonjaaa 19:04, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

The problem is with fonts, as usual. — Monedula 19:19, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

What program even renders these Unicode characters correctly? Uranther 03:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Mozilla Firefox. — Monedula 06:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Any program on which you can set the font yourself... :P -- Jokes Free4Me 13:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More symbols

Does anyone know about special notations using Unicode? I know of ± and ∓, but i would also like "+ over =" and "+ below =". Thanks in advance. -- Jokes Free4Me 13:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

They are ⩱ (U+2A71) and ⩲ (U+2A72). — Monedula 06:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I know I wanted one, so...

Here's a chess board:

♖	♘	♗	♗	♕	♗	♘	♖
♙	♙	♙	♙	♙	♙	♙	♙
