I need to include the suit symbols as text characters in a Powerpoint I’m working on. They’re not in the symbols/icons that come with my version of PP. (Or at least I didn’t find them)

Can anyone help me?

♠❤♦♣  
♤ ❤ ♢ ♧

This ought to work as copy paste. Should be under symbols, but the search is a pain.

If you want to find them, they are in the  
Symbols font with character codes 167-170  
Arial Unicode MS has them as well -both black and white at 2660-2667  
@Arial Unicode MS has them flipped 90 degrees counter-clockwise

Oddly, the card suit symbols are also under the Segoe UI Symbol font. There are a lot of useful glyphs in the Segoe UI Symbol font, such as chess pieces, that aren’t in Symbols or Wingdings.

If you’re on Windows 10, press the Windows key + . (period) to bring up the emoji picker, which includes the card suits.
