Unicode has characters of chess symbols. This means that chess symbols can be encoded as text instead of images. Algebraic notation (text that shows where to move a chess piece) can be typed using the symbol of the piece. For example, ♘c6 instead of Nc6.

Thumb
The software GNU Chess uses chess characters from Unicode. It shows the characters on a board.
