King Symbol ♔

King Symbol uses ♔ (U+2654 WHITE CHESS KING) for the white king in chess text and diagrams. The character belongs to the Unicode chess-piece set, so it can be copied into game notes, lesson material, board coordinates, or a plain-text position without inserting an image. This page is about the encoded chess piece ♔; it does not treat crowns, royal portraits, or the queen character as interchangeable king symbols. In a chess diagram, the surrounding board position supplies the meaning, while an accessible caption should identify the piece as the white king. The black king, white queen, rook, and other pieces have their own code points and should remain separate in searchable text. When formatting ♔, preserve U+2654 through copy, export, and font changes. Do not replace it with ♕, a generic crown, or a decorative royal icon. The most relevant checks are to keep the full character, confirm the chess font renders it, and label it when the audience may not recognize the piece. After pasting, verify that the result is still ♔ and not another chess symbol. King Symbol documents ♔ for chess diagrams and game notes.
