Game symbols across chess, cards, dice and sports
Gaming symbols bring together controllers, pieces, targets, cards and fantasy motifs.
This broad hub aggregates focused game inventories rather than presenting a handful of unrelated pictograms. Use the dedicated spoke when notation requires an exact chess piece, playing card, die face or sport. The page carries 212 distinct entries: 198 single characters and 14 sequences.
Representative names include Video Game, Sparkles, 2Nd Place Medal, Performing Arts. The commonest name families across the whole inventory are Variation Selector-16 (16), Playing Card Ace (4), Playing Card Two (4). Single-character values span U+2654 to U+1FAA9.

What the game symbols inventory actually contains
Every figure below is counted from the 212 entries stored for this page rather than estimated. The characters are drawn from Playing Cards (82), Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs (55) and Miscellaneous Symbols (45).
| Group | Entries | Examples | Code points | Usual presentation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chess pieces | 13 | ♟ ♞ ♟️ | U+2654–U+265F | Text presentation |
| Playing cards | 83 | 🎴 🃏 🂡 | U+1F0A1–U+1F3B4 | Text presentation |

Practical note: Presentation is the typical default. A variation selector, a specific font stack, or an application that overrides emoji rendering can change what you see after pasting.

How to type game symbols on a keyboard
Every character here has a numeric identity, and that number is what the keyboard methods use: decimal on a Windows keypad, hexadecimal in Word and on macOS.
| Character | Name | Windows | Hex | HTML |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🎮 | Video Game | Not available | 1F3AE | 🎮 |
| ✨ | Sparkles | Alt 10024 | 2728 | ✨ |
| 🥈 | 2Nd Place Medal | Not available | 1F948 | 🥈 |
| 🎭 | Performing Arts | Not available | 1F3AD | 🎭 |
| ♣ | Black Club Suit | Alt 9827 | 2663 | ♣ |
| 🂬 | Playing Card Knight Of Spades | Not available | 1F0AC | 🂬 |
Alt codes reach only the first 65,536 code points, and only from a numeric keypad. 161 entries here sit above that ceiling. A further 14 are sequences, which no shortcut reproduces — copy those instead. For the Windows, macOS, Linux and mobile detail, read the keyboard guide.
06
How game symbols render across fonts, apps and devices
Playing Cards is the main home for these, with 45% of the set. The rest come from Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs and Miscellaneous Symbols. You get two behaviours here.
106 are plain text. 106 are emoji and arrive in colour you cannot change. Unicode files the emoji ones under Activities and People & Body.
14 entries are made of several parts. 1 of those are held together by a hidden joiner. Copy the whole thing, or it breaks apart.
Some are as recent as Emoji 14.0, so old devices may draw an empty box.
The clipboard carries code points, not the drawing on this page, so weight, spacing and colour can all shift between iPhone, Android, Windows, macOS and an exported PDF.

Game Symbols questions and answers
What is the difference between Playing Card Knight Of Spades and Playing Card Four Of Diamonds?+
They are two distinct Unicode characters: Playing Card Knight Of Spades is U+1F0AC (HTML 🂬) and Playing Card Four Of Diamonds is U+1F0C4 (HTML 🃄). A font may draw them almost identically, but they sort and search as separate values.
What is the HTML code for video game?+
Either reference works: 🎮 or 🎮. Both resolve to 🎮. Pasting the raw character is fine too once the document is UTF-8.
Which game symbols work as plain text rather than emoji?+
Look for the 106 non-emoji entries. Those behave like letters — style them, colour them, put them in a heading. The 106 emoji entries are drawn by the operating system instead.
Why does one of these game symbols split apart when I paste it?+
14 entries here are sequences of more than one code point, and 1 of those are held together by a zero-width joiner. 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 game symbols in?+
The answer is Playing Cards, covering 82 of them; the rest come from Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs and Miscellaneous Symbols. Coverage tends to follow the block: long-established ones render nearly everywhere, recent additions do not.
Will these game symbols work on older phones?+
The newest entry on this page was introduced in Emoji 14.0. 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.

Where this data comes from
Every figure on this page is computed from the stored inventory of 212 entries. Names, general categories and code points are generated from the Unicode 17.0 character database rather than typed by hand; emoji membership is read from the emoji data files published alongside it.

- Unicode emoji-test.txt (fully-qualified emoji sequences and grouping)
- The Unicode Standard, current version
