less confusing icon for resigns

I suggest a toppled king instead of a raised flag , which could be confused with "claim victory"... I know I am not the first player to do this lol... and after my opponent left the game instead of resigning ("rage quit")
a white flag is commonly shown seen as giving up
and for claim victory it is just those words
now how you get confused when the flag is there the whole game is beyond me
In one of my first games on this site I resigned when I intended to offer a draw because I interpreted the white flag as a "peace" symbol. My own silly fault of course, but I agree that something like a toppled king would be clearer.

The flag is not white, it's transparent. I never resign though.
