White Diamond Suit

62/173

♢ is the hollow, outlined symbol for the playing-card suit of diamonds. In French card history it is called carreau, meaning a paving tile. While is the solid version, both represent the same card suit in text notation.

Text symbol

What ♢ means

Beside a rank, ♢ marks a playing card in the diamond suit. In Bridge score sheets and card-game notation, writers frequently use the outline suit symbol alongside card values, where its shape remains distinct.

Outside card games, ♢ occasionally turns up as a decorative bullet point or spacer in profiles. Because it is a standard text character rather than an emoji, its exact width and line weight depend entirely on your current font.

Crisp and utilitarian in card notation, light and decorative in casual text.

Without an adjacent card rank, readers may interpret it merely as a generic geometric rhombus.
