What ♠️ means

One of the four card suits, the black spade. Card games like poker, bridge and Spades are its home.

Card nights, poker hands and decorative bullet lists use it, next to ♥️ ♦️ ♣️. Some asexual people, who call themselves 'ace', put ♠️ in bios as an ace of spades sign of identity.

In some adult content, ♠️ and the 'queen of spades' mark white women who seek sex with Black men, so outside card talk it can carry that sexual, race-based meaning.
