    use the Decimal number that the symbol has, define the symbol, and then use the character

    for example, to print a line of Spades

    Code:
     /*#include <stdio.h>
    
    #define symbol 06
    
    main()
    {
    	int row;
    
    	for(row = 1; row <= 60; ++row)
    		printf("%c", symbol);
    
    }

    The characters you refer to outside of the standard printable range, but none the less, are still generated on some DOS screens. If you are getting a spade for 6, you might find that 3, 4 and 5 are the other numbers you require.

    This is however a non-portable way of doing things, meaning you aren't guaranteed to see these characters on other platforms.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
