In digital text, this character is typically employed to depict the spade suit in playing cards, such as those used in popular card games like poker and blackjack. The Black Spade Suit character holds cultural significance in various card games where the spade symbolizes a specific set of rules or gameplay mechanics. Its unique shape and style distinguish it from other Unicode playing card symbols, including the Red Heart Suit (U+2661), the Green Club Suit (U+2663), and the Blue Diamond Suit (U+2666). This character is particularly useful for digital content creators, game developers, and designers who wish to accurately represent playing cards within their work, ensuring a consistent and recognizable visual language for users.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11877 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+2E65. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format: 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
    Where the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2E65 to binary: 00101110 01100101. Those are the payload bits.

  3. Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:

    Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
    11100010 10111001 10100101
