What 🨯 means
🨯 is the neutral chess turned pawn. Unicode classifies it as an “other symbol” — Unicode's shelf for signs that are neither maths, money nor punctuation and files it in the Chess Symbols block; this site shelves it under Games.
Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.
How it is encoded
🨯 is a single code point, U1FA2F. In HTML that is 🨯, and in CSS \1FA2F.

This is the plain, unturned neutral pawn form; it is the counterpart to 🨯, whose assigned role still comes from the problem or diagram.

Neutral Chess Knight Rotated Forty-Five Degrees
This is another turned neutral chess sign, but for a knight. It shows that the turned-piece notation includes more than one kind of chess piece.
Questions people ask
1Why does 🨯 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
