Black Diamond Suit Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for Black Diamond Suit is 4. Hold Alt, type 4 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. Black Diamond Suit also has the Unicode codepoint U+2666, so you can type it with Alt+9830 on Windows, search for U+2666 in macOS's Character Viewer, use ♦ in HTML, or \2666 in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad. The code comes from the OEM console picture table, so the ♦ picture appears only when an OEM raster font is active; in a modern application using a TrueType font the same keystroke may insert nothing visible or a control character. HTML also defines the named entity ♦ for Black Diamond Suit, but the numeric form ♦ is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
