Chess Symbols

Summary

This tool displays all 12 standard Unicode chess piece symbols — six white pieces and six black pieces — in a clean grid with click-to-copy functionality. Each symbol card shows the piece character, its name, and Unicode codepoint. Filter by color (white or black) or piece type, or search by name to find exactly what you need.

How it works

1. All 12 Unicode chess pieces are displayed in a filterable grid.
2. Use the category tabs to show only White Pieces, Black Pieces, or All.
3. Use the search box to filter by piece name (e.g. "king", "pawn", "rook").
4. Click any symbol card to copy the character to your clipboard instantly.
5. The Unicode codepoint (e.g. U+2654) is shown below each symbol for reference.
6. A confirmation toast appears at the bottom of the screen after each copy.
