Diamonds belong to geometry, cards and emoji artwork
A diamond can be a geometric marker, a card suit or a pictorial gem. The Unicode name separates those roles even when the outlines look close.
| Forms | Identity | Use check |
|---|---|---|
| ◆ ◇ | Black and white diamond shapes | Neutral geometric bullets, keys and decoration. |
| ♦ ♢ | Black and white diamond suits | Playing-card notation; preserve rank and suit together. |
| ◈ ◊ | Diamond with interior or lozenge | Special geometric or typographic uses. |
| 🔶 🔷 💎 | Color diamond and gem emoji | Pictorial artwork is platform-dependent and not a card suit. |
Practical note: Do not use color alone to distinguish data-series diamonds. Add a legend label, and use the suit character only where card meaning is intended.

How to use diamond symbols
Copying stores text, so the value survives the clipboard intact. Paste it with Ctrl V, ⌘ V or your device's Paste command.
01
Navigation and directional notes
Start with Black Diamond. It works nearly everywhere.
02
Flow diagrams and process steps
When handling flow diagrams and process steps, the 21 symbol entries are the obvious pool, and let visual weight settle the final choice.
03
Legends, swatches and text layouts
When creating legends, swatches and text layouts, paste the complete entry — several of these are multi-code-point sequences that break if truncated.

How to type these diamond symbols directly
Copying is quicker, but these are typeable too. On Windows the alt code is the character's decimal code point; in Word the hexadecimal followed by Alt X does the same job without a keypad.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ◆ | Black Diamond | Alt 9670 | 25C6 | ◆ |
| ♢ | White Diamond Suit | Alt 9826 | 2662 | ♢ |
| ⬥ | Black Medium Diamond | Alt 11045 | 2B25 | ⬥ |
| ⟡ | White Concave-Sided Diamond | Alt 10209 | 27E1 | ⟡ |
| 💎 | Gem Stone | Not available | 1F48E | 💎 |
| ⬗ | Diamond With Right Half Black | Alt 11031 | 2B17 | ⬗ |
Two limits apply to alt codes: a physical keypad, and a ceiling at U+FFFF. 7 entries here sit above that ceiling. A further 6 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. For the Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile detail, read the keyboard guide.

How diamond symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Unicode keeps 43% of these in Miscellaneous Symbols. The rest come from Geometric Shapes and Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. 23 act like letters.
They take the colour of the text around them. The other 12 are emoji. Your phone or computer paints those in colour.
Unicode files the emoji ones under Symbols and Objects. 6 are built from more than one character. Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart.
Some are as recent as Emoji 0.6, so old devices may draw an empty box.
A pasted entry is redrawn by the receiving application's font. Expect small differences in width and weight across devices, and larger ones where a font lacks the character entirely.

Diamond Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between White Diamond Suit and White Diamond Containing Black Small Diamond + White Diamond Containing Black Small Diamond + White Diamond Containing Black Small Diamond?+
Different code points, similar shapes. White Diamond Suit sits at U+2662 and White Diamond Containing Black Small Diamond + White Diamond Containing Black Small Diamond + White Diamond Containing Black Small Diamond at U+25C8 U+25C8 U+25C8, so search, sorting and screen readers treat them as unrelated characters even where they look the same.
What is the HTML code for black diamond?+
Write ◆ (hex) or ◆ (decimal) to get ◆. Numeric references sidestep encoding problems in older toolchains.
Which diamond symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+
23 of the 35 are ordinary text characters. They take the colour and weight of the surrounding font, which suits documents, code and interface labels. The other 12 are emoji and arrive as colour artwork you cannot restyle.
Why does one of these diamond symbols split apart when I paste it?+
6 entries here are sequences of more than one code point. If the destination does not support the sequence, or if the copy was truncated, the parts render individually. Copy the entry with the button rather than by selecting the characters.
Which Unicode block are these diamond symbols in?+
Chiefly Miscellaneous Symbols, which accounts for 12; the rest come from Geometric Shapes and Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs. That matters because a font either supports a block broadly or barely at all.
Will these diamond symbols work on older phones?+
The newest entry on this page was introduced in Emoji 0.6. Devices that have not received a font update since then will show a blank rectangle instead. Test on a real older device before using a recent character where the meaning matters.
