Is it possible to print a spade, club, heart, or diamond in java?

Hey,

Ive been researching on how to print out a card suit in java but have had no luck. I tried a few things mentioning Unicode but none of them worked. They all printed "?".

Any suggestions? I only want to print it to the screen...

Thanks! :)

Maybe, you need to find an encoding that supports that character and also a font that can display it. The encoding I don't think is too difficult, but i'm not sure it's possible to change the font for the console. If you do it in AWT/Swing, it will definately work.

Here are some fonts that support (or don't support) the black spade suit character.
