Remember
Character ♢
Unicode U+2662
Hex entity ♢
Decimal ♢
CSS escape \2662
Named entity (none)
Not the same ♦ U+2666 (black diamond suit)
All of these produce the same glyph: ♢. Prefer typing ♢ in UTF-8 when you can; use numeric or CSS forms for generated content. Do not use ♦ — that maps to black diamond suit (U+2666).

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2662 → ♢ in HTML. The browser turns it into ♢.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9826 → ♢. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2662 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ♢ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ♢: fine in UTF-8 source. There is no named entity — ♦ is a different character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with white diamond suit (♢).
♦
Not black diamond
♢ is outline. For the filled form use ♦ (U+2666) / ♦.
Named?
No named entity
♦ and ♦ always mean U+2666. For ♢ use numeric forms only.
♠
Do not swap suits
♢ diamonds ≠ ♤ spades ≠ ♡ hearts ≠ ♧ clubs. Use the matching white-suit code point.

Say “Diamonds”
Screen readers may not announce the suit clearly. Pair the glyph with visible or visually hidden text.
Fonts
Match suit fonts
Use the same font stack for ♧ ♢ ♡ ♤ so white suit glyphs look consistent.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ♢, not ♢.
