From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here are the symbols of Go stones in Unicode.

name symbol codepoint html
white circle dot right U+2686 ⚆
white circle two dots U+2687 ⚇
black circle dot right U+2688 ⚈
white circle two dots U+2689 ⚉

These symbols are not widely supported by fonts.

Note that these symbols are not coming from game notation, but from the mathematical analysis of go using surreal numbers.

The "circled number" Unicode ranges (①..⑳, ㉑..㊿,❶..❿, ⓫..⓴, ➀..➉, ➊..➓, ㊀..㊉) can also be used to indicating recent moves in a game of Go.

Other circles can be used for stones: ◯, ⦁, 〇, ◦, ●

There is also a combining circle character (U+20DD).
