I still have a couple of hours before I have to get busy today with other
things. As I alluded to earlier, H.G., when I copied & then tried to paste
the piece symbol as described, literally no text or image appeared in my
submission (i.e. nothing happened whatsoever after I tried to paste).

Instead, one thing I tried after was to save the webpage for the piece
symbol as one of my 'Favourites' (another option besides 'Copy' that is
allowed when one right-clicks on such a piece symbol). Then, in actually
going to that webpage on the web, I did see the piece symbol in question
displayed, in the upper left corner of an otherwise blank webpage. Anyway,
I then pasted that http address for that webpage into my submission, but
then when I viewed it by re-submitting my submission, all that appeared (of
course, I suppose) was the text of the http address (kind of similar to
what you were describing for something else). 

Maybe there was somthing I could have done with the http address that I  inserted in my submission, e.g. something kind of similar to what
you were describing. After giving up perhaps prematurely, the next day I
had my 1x1 board (including piece symbol) representation inspiration for using the
Diagram Designer, and I eagerly took the sure route to
success, much like a baseball infielder takes the sure throw out to first
base, rather than trying to throw out a base runner by throwing to second
base. Anyway, the fact that my original copy and paste attempt produced
absolutely nothing (such as text) in my submission suggests to me that
there may in fact be a bug with, say, the Diagram Designer, unless I did
something wrong in copying & pasting (in this case, seems hardly possible).
