Better name for article[edit]

I think the proper name for this article should be Unicode Playing Card Block. -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 17:42, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

Unicode Playing Card → Unicode Playing Card Block – The article is not about a plying card -- it is about the block of special characters in Unicode used to supposrt display and printing of playing cards using the Unicode character set. ArglebargleIV (talk) 17:45, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Moved Appears to be a noncontroversial move. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 03:22, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move (2)[edit]

Unicode Playing Card Block → Playing Cards (Unicode block) –

I propose to move this page to Playing Cards (Unicode block). First of all, it is a Unicode block name. Naming of Unicode block pages here on WP has been discussed at Talk:C0 Controls and Basic Latin#Unicode block names for all blocks. The outcome is: use the name as defined (spelled) by Unicode. I think that is an explicit consensus. And allthough Unicode allows lowercase writing, the same discussion stated that we use title case for these names. And since the term "Playing Cards" is ambiguous, we add the disambiguating "(Unicode block)" as with other ambiguous block names. Another issue could be that the eight card suits (like ♠ and ♥) in Unicode, are not a block on their own (they are in block Miscellaneous Symbols). Of course they are correctly in this article, and I see no problem with the formality that they are not a block. -DePiep (talk) 15:27, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support: agree with proposal. --lTopGunl (talk) 16:15, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

4-color symbols[edit]

Casey (talk) 12:26, 19 September 2018 (UTC) My apologies if not appropriate to bring this up in this forum, but I wish symbols were available to make the Diamonds symbol orange and the Clubs symbol green, as is standard (to preclude confusion) in the bidding boxes used in duplicate bridge tournaments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidding_box[reply]

I know this is old, but emojis to the rescue!

Orange diamond: 🔶: 🔶
Green club: <span style="font-size: large; color: green;">♣︎</span>: ♣︎

Tarot[edit]

The article can use a better description of the tarot cards present. I have separated this topic in to § Tarot. DePiep (talk) 16:03, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
