    A polygon is said to be of type A if it has exactly two interior angles not equal to \(\pi/2\). Suppose that \(f\) is a continuous bijection of the unit disk onto itself. It is shown that \(f\) is Möbius if and only if it maps every polygon \(P\) of type A to a polygon which is similar to \(P\).
