Chess Symbols
The twelve chess symbols from WHITE CHESS KING to BLACK CHESS PAWN are here with 84 others, 96 in all.
CHESS as a word of the name, and one block shut out
A character comes onto this page by its Unicode name, which must have CHESS as a word. One block is shut out: Symbols for Legacy Computing Supplement, where the names with that word are of the kind UPPER LEFT QUADRANT CHESS KING. 96 characters meet both conditions, and each has a row below.
A piece named XIANGQI is not selected, because its name does not have the word.
WHITE 33, BLACK 33, NEUTRAL 30, and eight words that cross them
One of three words is in each of the 96 names: WHITE, BLACK or NEUTRAL. Those three groups share no character and leave none over. The other eight groups are read from the rest of the name: KING, QUEEN, ROOK, BISHOP, KNIGHT, PAWN, ROTATED and TURNED. KNIGHT has 24 names where the other five pieces have 12 each.
Nine names have none of the eight. Three are the EQUIHOPPER names without ROTATED, and six have KNIGHT-QUEEN, KNIGHT-ROOK or KNIGHT-BISHOP, each of which is one word to the rule and so not counted under KNIGHT.

Twelve names of three words, then 84 from NEUTRAL CHESS KING on
The table has two sections. The first holds twelve rows, U+2654 WHITE CHESS KING to U+265F BLACK CHESS PAWN, and each of those names is WHITE or BLACK, then CHESS, then a piece. The second section is the block Chess Symbols with the other 84, starting at U+1FA00 NEUTRAL CHESS KING. There a name has NEUTRAL, ROTATED, TURNED, EQUIHOPPER or a hyphenated piece in it. The 51 names with ROTATED end with the degrees in words, as U+1FA06 WHITE CHESS KNIGHT ROTATED FORTY-FIVE DEGREES does.
