砲 is a xiangqi "cannon" on the black side

@Wyang, Justinrleung, Suzukaze-c: According to Wikipedia, 砲 is not a variant of 炮 but it's also a "cannon" piece on the black side. I think I saw the same in some videos but I know very little about xiangqi. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 03:26, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

You are right, Anatoli, although sometimes 炮 is used for both sides. May be worth briefly mentioning as a note on 炮. Wyang (talk) 03:50, 25 September 2017 (UTC)

OK, thanks. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 04:22, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
