Playing Cards with Unicode

January 24th 2016

Unicode is more than just emojis. It’s also playing cards! (And nearly every single language in modern use) In fact, every card in the standard 52 card playing deck can be represented in Unicode.  How?  Well, here you go. You’re welcome:

A 🂡 🂱 🃁 🃑
2 🂢 🂲 🃂 🃒
3 🂣 🂳 🃃 🃓
4 🂤 🂴 🃄 🃔
5 🂥 🂵 🃅 🃕
6 🂦 🂶 🃆 🃖
7 🂧 🂷 🃇 🃗
8 🂨 🂸 🃈 🃘
9 🂩 🂹 🃉 🃙
10 🂪 🂺 🃊 🃚
J 🂫 🂻 🃋 🃛
Q 🂭 🂽 🃍 🃝
K 🂮 🂾 🃎 🃞

The Unicode playing card symbols above can be copied and pasted into Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Microsoft Word, e-mails, and pretty much anywhere else. If you’re copying these cards into a text editor like Word, you can change the size by increasing or decreasing the font, just like you would with normal text! We told you Unicode was oh so cool. PS: Remember to shuffle, and don’t forget your jokers:
