Frequently asked questions
How do I copy the ♛ symbol?
Click the big ♛ in the card at the top of this page — it copies as a standard Unicode character (U+265B) and pastes anywhere.
How do I type ♛ on a keyboard?
There is no standard keyboard shortcut or Alt code for ♛. Copy it from this page, or in Microsoft Word type 265B and press Alt+X.
Why does ♛ sometimes show as a box or question mark?
The box (called tofu) means the device or font viewing it has no drawing for U+265B (Black Chess Queen). The character itself is fine — try a different font or a newer device, or use one of the variants on this page.
