I think this only piece "ä¿¥" was made in Song Dynasty.

For my knowledge, each players' Rook of Chinese Chess  was both written 
as "車" (not "俥") in early  Northern Song Dynasty. Red player  Rook
was written as "ä¿¥" in Southern Song Dynasty in order to distinguish
each player's pieces on single-color printing book.
