Knight (chess) of chaturanga in India around the 6th century. Similar pieces are found in almost all games of the chess family. The "ma" of xiangqi and janggi are slightly more restricted; conceptually, the piece is considered to pass through the adjacent orthogonal square, which must be unoccupied, rather than "jumping". Another related piece is the "keima" of shogi, which moves like a knight but may only move two squares forward followed by one square sideways, restricting its movement to two possible squares. Unicode defines two codepoints for knight: ♘ U+2658 White Chess Knight (HTML ♘) ♞ U+265E Black Chess Knight (HTML
Fairy chess piece "pao" and "vao" (derived from the Chinese cannon) and the "mao" (derived from the horse). Those derived from the cannon are distinguished by moving as a hopper when capturing, but otherwise moving as a rider. Pieces from xiangqi are usually circular disks, labeled or engraved with a Chinese character identifying the piece. Pieces from shogi (Japanese chess) are usually wedge-shaped chips, with kanji characters identifying the piece. Fairy pieces vary in the way they move, but some may also have other special characteristics or powers. The joker (in one of its definitions) mimics the last move made by the opponent.
