I am sorry to have to keep challenging you, but in fact if you will select
one of the characters you inserted, you will see that they are in the
Miscellaneous Dingbats character subset. It is true that you can view them
in Insert | Symbol with Box Drawing displayed in the Subset window, but in
fact if you will select a club, spade, heart, or diamond, you will see that
the Subset window now says "Miscellaneous Dingbats." There are no card face
characters in the Box Drawing subset (not even in Arial Unicode MS), and it
wouldn't make sense for there to be so. The Symbol dialog (especially in
"(normal text)" often displays more than one subset in a given frame because
only a few characters from a given subset are included in the font.
