Each suit has two forms in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. Unicode names the solid ones black (♠ ♥ ♦ ♣) and the outlined ones white (♤ ♡ ♢ ♧). Poker hands, bridge diagrams and card game notes usually use the solid set, for example A♠ K♥ Q♦ J♣. The outline hearts are popular in captions as a lighter heart.
These are text characters, so they take the color of the surrounding text. Hearts and diamonds are red on a real deck, but pasted into a plain text field they will be black unless the app lets you color them. On many phones ♥ and ♦ also switch to a red emoji style automatically.
The Playing Cards block (U+1F0A0 to U+1F0FF) has a character for most individual cards, plus the card back and jokers. They are small and only display when a font includes that block, so some devices show empty boxes. They suit decoration better than readable game text, where the plain suit symbol next to a rank is clearer.
Card players and puzzle writers use the suit characters in shorthand. A bridge hand might read ♠ A K 7 ♥ Q 5, and poker boards use 10♦ or J♣. Putting the rank first and the suit second is the normal order, and the suit glyph keeps hands compact in forum posts and chat.
The solid suits are ♠ spade (U+2660), ♣ club (U+2663), ♥ heart (U+2665) and ♦ diamond (U+2666). Outline versions are ♤ ♧ ♡ ♢.
Copy it from this page and paste it. On Windows you can hold Alt and type 3 to 6 on the numeric keypad for ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ in many programs.
The Playing Cards block is not in every font. Updating the system or choosing a font with broad symbol coverage usually fixes it.
