EDIT: This was a test entry to see if I could figure out what the codes were for those little hearts, spades, clubs, etc.

It was supposed to get deleted, but I forgot. . .

I'm prior service Army, enlisted. Currently sending in applications to all of the Military Academies. I want to ask you a few questions if you don't mind, whenever you get the time.

I hope your birthday was awesome! (:

My birthday was awesome, thanks! I'm going to the place to get that thing I carry around upgraded tonight. I'm kinda too busy to go, but it's not the sort of event I think I should skip, you know?

And thanks for the ♠ ! I would have been annoyed by that for a while. . .

Yay - I would shake you harder than an eight ball if you skipped your celebration!
And no problemo.

Unicode character entities for the card suit symbols

[oddharmonic]

The numbered entity syntax works in almost every browser, but the named entity syntax is easier to remember.

♠ : ♠ or ♠
♣ : ♣ or ♣
♥ : ♥ or ♥
♦ : ♦ or ♦

♠ !!!!!

I knew it was something really simple! You just saved me weeks of irritation. This is the kind of thing that I can't really justify spending a lot of time on, but is exactly what my wandering mind wants to do instead of all the work I'm supposed to be doing.

Thank you!
