03 FAQ
How do I type a ◆ diamond symbol?
Copy it above, or in Word type 25C6 then Alt+X for ◆, 25C7 for ◇. The red card-suit diamond ♦ is 2666 then Alt+X. There is no standard Windows Alt+number code for them.
What is the difference between ◆ and ♦?
◆ (U+25C6) is a geometric black diamond, usually shown in your text colour. ♦ (U+2666) is the card-suit diamond, which some systems render in red or as an emoji. Use ◆ for neutral bullets, ♦ for cards.
Can I use a diamond as a bullet or divider?
Yes, ◆, ◇ and ❖ make elegant list bullets or centre-of-line dividers (◆ ◆ ◆). Copy the one you like and repeat it. Small diamonds read more clearly than large ones at body-text size.
