U+2664 "♤" White Spade Suit Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
♤
U+2664 "♤" White Spade Suit is a typographic symbol representing the spade suit from a standard deck of playing cards, rendered in an outlined or hollow white form rather than a solid black fill. It is part of the Miscellaneous Symbols block and is often used in digital text to denote the spade in contexts like card games, gaming, or as a decorative icon in user interfaces and documents. This character, distinct from its filled counterpart U+2660, is typically displayed with a thin black border and white interior, and like the White Heart, Diamond, and Club suits, it supports symmetrical or themed designs where a lighter visual weight is desired.
