How do I fix this problem printing playing cards using unicode in python?

Question

I am trying to print ascii playing cards for a poker game but it's not working as planned.

I tried printing playing cards using unicode for my poker program in python but when I use the unicode the console comes up with this error: "SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode bytes in position 0-1: truncated \uXXXX escape" and when I copy and paste the ascii from the website (which I'd prefer not to do) it only prints cards with a question mark on them

here is my code:

backOfCard = '\u+1f0a0'
print(backOfCard)

Answer 1

The syntax for unicode escapes in Python is \uxxxx for 16-bit values, and \Uxxxxxxxx for 32-bit values, so you want \U0001f0a0.

(Or '\N{playing card back}'.)
