I have seen the suit symbols on some CCs. How is it possible to put these on?

Some fonts have suit characters. Look under insert symbol.

You can also use the Alt codes 3, 4, 5 and 6 to get the system suit symbols (♥, ♦, ♣ and ♠).

What CC software are you using? Both BBO and Bridge Winners use the same codes for suit symbols as BBO chat: !C, !D, !H, and !S.

I use MS Word as my word processing program and have dedicated F2 through F5 as symbols keys.....F2 is for clubs, and so on.

I suspect more sophisticated users have a use for their function keys, but I don't so it didn't cost to make the change.

Interesting. When I use !C, I get !C, not ♣.

You don't see the suit symbols in this CC? They were created using those codes.
