Weird. The chess characters have to be significantly enlarged to be the same size as letters. Thus it becomes hard to just have Nf3 where the N symbol looks good next to the f3.--Sonjaaa 19:04, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

The problem is with fonts, as usual. — Monedula 19:19, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)

here they simply don't show :S VodkaJazz

Can anyone recommend an open source font that includes these symbols? --Ken Seehart 00:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Note that :Arial Unicode MS and :Tahoma are MS proprietary and MS will not permit redistribution. I have tried :Code2000, which is very complete, but the chess pieces don't look very good (the King looks like a cow head). --Ken Seehart 00:57, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

What program even renders these Unicode characters correctly? Uranther 03:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mozilla Firefox. — Monedula 06:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Any program on which you can set the font yourself... :P -- Jokes Free4Me 13:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More symbols

Does anyone know about special notations using Unicode? I know of ± and ∓, but i would also like "+ over =" and "+ below =". Thanks in advance. -- Jokes Free4Me 13:44, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They are ⩱ (U+2A71) and ⩲ (U+2A72). — Monedula 06:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know I wanted one, so...

Here's a chess board:
