heartsuit

Displays a decorative heart-shaped playing card suit symbol commonly used in card game notation and mathematical game theory.

Overview

Belongs to the family of card suit symbols in mathematical typography, particularly useful when discussing probability, game theory, or creating card-related content in academic documents.

  • Often appears alongside other suit symbols (♠, ♣, ♦) in probability problems
  • Used in recreational mathematics and combinatorial game theory examples
  • Frequently employed in documents explaining card game algorithms or strategies
  • Provides a visually appealing alternative to basic text hearts in formal mathematical writing

Examples

Simple card suit notation in game theory.

P()=1352P(\heartsuit) = \frac{13}{52}
P(\heartsuit) = \frac{13}{52}

Representing a winning poker hand combination.

{K,Q,J,10,9}\{K\heartsuit, Q\heartsuit, J\heartsuit, 10\heartsuit, 9\heartsuit\}
\{K\heartsuit, Q\heartsuit, J\heartsuit, 10\heartsuit, 9\heartsuit\}

Mathematical expression using card suits as set elements.

A={,,,}A = \{\heartsuit, \diamondsuit, \clubsuit, \spadesuit\}
A = \{\heartsuit, \diamondsuit, \clubsuit, \spadesuit\}
