How it works

The card symbols are ♠ ♥ ♦ ♣, the four suit signs. The 110 rows add outline and emoji versions, all 52 playing cards as single characters such as 🂡, three jokers, a card back and the tarot trumps.

Read the full guide

Write a hand anyone can read

Type the rank and paste the suit: A♠ K♥ 10♦. A whole card such as 🂡 is one character, which suits a bio or a name, but it needs a font that has it. Each card's note gives its typed form.

Tips

Court card notes give the Paris pattern names: the king of spades is David, the queen of clubs Argine, the jack of clubs Lancelot.

Questions and answers

What is the Alt code for the card suits?

With Num Lock on, hold Alt and type 3 for ♥, 4 for ♦, 5 for ♣ or 6 for ♠ on the number pad. The four outline suits and the single-character cards have no Alt code.

How do I make the heart or diamond symbol red?

♥ and ♦ are text and take the colour of the words around them, so colour the text red. Where you cannot, copy the emoji style row, ♥️ or ♦️, which asks for the system's own drawing. Black in the Unicode name means filled.

How do I type the card suits in HTML and LaTeX?

HTML has &spades; &hearts; &diams; and &clubs; for the four filled suits. LaTeX has \spadesuit, \heartsuit, \diamondsuit and \clubsuit in maths mode with no package, and its heart and diamond print in outline, ♡ and ♢.

Why are there 14 cards in each suit?

The block also covers the packs used for tarot games, which have a knight between jack and queen in each suit. Skip the four knights for the usual 52. The last hex digit is the rank: 1 for the ace, E for the king.

Why do some cards show as empty boxes?

The font must contain the card. The 52 cards, the knights and two jokers date from Unicode 6.0 (2010). The red joker, the Fool and the 21 trumps came in 7.0 (2014), so they are the likeliest to be missing.

How this list was compiled: Names, and the code points they belong to, are checked against UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt), and printed in sentence case; the copy used was compared with the live file on 2026-09-20 for every row here. Notes that say Unicode's note, Unicode's other name or Unicode cross-references quote NamesList.txt of the same version (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt), whose headings Spades or swords, Hearts or cups, Diamonds or pentacles and Clubs or wands, with the aliases page of swords to king of swords, give each card its tarot reading. The version a character was added in is from DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt), block names from Blocks.txt, the Emoji property from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-data.txt, the text style and emoji style sequences from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt (which has none for U+1F0CF, so the joker has no text style row), emoji short names from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt, the selectors as requests for a text or emoji presentation from https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr51/, and the years from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html.

The remark on the heart suit emoji is from https://emojipedia.org/heart-suit. The last group holds characters that one ordinary computer had no font for on the day this list was checked; your device may differ. What is listed: the eight suit signs with their text style and emoji style sequences, every assigned character of the Playing Cards block (82), the flower playing cards emoji, and this site's own sets, which are two to four of those characters in a row with nothing between them. Left out: look-alikes that are not card characters (◆ ◇ ❤ ☘ and the like, which are on the heart, clover and other pages), mahjong tiles, dominoes, dice and chess pieces, sets longer than four characters such as a royal flush, and any statement about how a given system draws a card.
