Bug: Wrong mate symbol • page 1/1 • L1Chess Tools Users Team • lichess.org

This is a very small issue, but it bothers me. In the analysis board, the symbol for mate is a musical sharp symbol () instead of a hash (#). I assume fixing this is as easy as changing the line "Mate: '\u266F'," to "Mate: '\u023'," in scripts/lichessTools.js, but I wasn't able to get it working to test it.

@AsDaGo , it was a recent addition. I thought it looks more fancy. Why does it bother you?

Because it's not consistent with everywhere else on the site (e.g. the moves list and the engine evaluation), and it seems out of place to me as someone who's familiar with music. But again, it's a very small issue so if you prefer it that's fine.

(Also I just realized Lichess deleted the sharp symbol from my previous message.)

Hey, guys! Please chime in here.

Should I use a hash symbol or a musical sharp symbol for the glyph that appears in analysis during mate positions?

I will comply with the majority vote.
