The classical Beckman-Quarles theorem says that any unit-distance preserving mapping \(f:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R^n\) \((n\geq 2)\) is an isometry. In the same vein, the author investigates distance-preserving mappings from \(\mathbb R^2\) to \(\mathbb F^2\), where \(\mathbb F\) is a subfield of a commutative field extension of \(\mathbb R\). The main result asserts that every unit-distance preserving mapping \(f:\mathbb R^2\to \mathbb F^2\) has the form \(I\circ (\rho, \rho)\), with \(\rho:\mathbb R\to \mathbb F\) a field homomorphism and \(I:\mathbb F^2\to \mathbb F^2\) an affine mapping with orthogonal linear part.
