The Unicode block Playing Cards contains a full 56-card deck for the Minor Arcana (i.e., a standard 52-card deck with King, Queen, and Jack face cards plus a Knight for all four suits), three jokers, The Fool tarot card, 21 trump cards from the Tarot Nouveau, and a backside.

Unification
Unicode unifies several ranks that may be considered different by some players:
- Ace with One (1)
- Jack with Page and Under Knave
- Knight with Cavalier and Over Knave
It also unifies the various suits, using the English names for the French pattern:
- Spades with Leaves, Shields, Pikes and Swords
- Hearts with Roses and Cups
- Diamonds with Tiles, Bells, Coins and Pentacles
- Clubs with Clovers, Batons, Wands and Acorns
Proposals to disunify mundane playing cards from esoteric, arcane tarot cards have been rejected in 2011.[citation needed]
