Diamond Symbols

Click any symbol to copy it. 10 characters, each labelled with its Unicode code point.

The diamonds here come from two unrelated places: Geometric Shapes, where they are drawing primitives, and the card-suit range, where a diamond means something specific. This collection holds 10 diamond symbols drawn from 4 Unicode blocks — mainly Geometric Shapes, Miscellaneous Symbols and Arrows and Miscellaneous Symbols. Code points run from U+25C6 to U+2B29. All of them sit in the Basic Multilingual Plane, which means broad font support and very few encoding surprises.

Shape or suit

◇ ◆ ◈ ◊ are geometric. ♦ and ♢ are the card suit, sharing a range with hearts, spades and clubs. They are visually close and semantically unrelated.

The lozenge

◊ (U+25CA LOZENGE) is narrower than the others and has a typographic history as an ornament and a footnote mark. It is not simply a small diamond.

The bordered diamond

◈ is a diamond containing a smaller white diamond, encoded as one character. You cannot separate the layers or colour them independently.

Frequently asked questions

Which diamond should I use for a card suit?

♦ (U+2666) or ♢ (U+2662). They are the actual card-suit characters and sit alongside ♠ ♥ ♣, so a run of suits stays visually consistent.
