Black Diamond Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Diamond because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+25C6, which you can use as ◆ in HTML, \25C6 in CSS, or type with Alt+9670 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Black Diamond is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+25C6 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Black Diamond has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ◆ or the hex escape ◆.
