Funny, I was told it's a Г-shape. Even those to pretend to know don't agree. There is nothing else to say about it.

That's right, horses move by doing what's known as the vector dance, in any direction they please. Checkmate, math style! 🐴

and if you look closely that looks like the kanji for ground 土 twice, so you know that they can't fly
