Re: Proposal to add standardized variation sequences for chess notation

Kent, Please do not drag chess pieces into discussions about emoji right now. Do it later if you must. This proposal is designed to proved a standardized higher-level protocol for the use of chess characters in chess data, to enable the chess community to make good use of the long-encoded

Re: Proposal to add standardized variation sequences for chess notation

In addition, not directly related to your proposal, why aren't chess pieces listed in http://unicode.org/emoji/charts/emoji-variants.html. It seems to me that chess pieces would be very well suited to have each an emoji variant (not to be used for the chess boards, maybe). /Kent K PS Remember

Re: Proposal to add standardized variation sequences for chess notation

I think it's all about sizing so that white or black cells will align, independantly of the piece that may be within it. However if FE00 and FE01 give the background color distinction, why is the base different (25A1 vis. 25A8) for the empty cell, when it is no different for the same piece (in the

Re: Proposal to add standardized variation sequences for chess notation

I like these proposed border-box charcters which where clearly missing in the box-drawing set (where they exist only when they pass through the center of a cell. However, unless they are are ujssed in monoxpaced fonts, I don't think that all of them have to match the same width as the checkers

Proposal to add standardized variation sequences for chess notation

Variation Sequences have been implemented for a number of symbol characters recently to make them useful for specialized purposes. Here is a proposal which solves a long-standing problem for an important set of symbols in the UCS.
