How do I use the Spade character?

Hello everyone! It's been inspiring watch everyone develop and experiment with my favorite console of all time.
I do have a question that's stumped me though; how do I actually use this highlighted character?

I've tried using "♠" in Visual Studio Code, but when I compile, I just get the following six lines instead (Pipe character added for comparison):

drawText "♠||"

Is there a different ASCII code I should be using?

Also, thank you Stephane for developing and sharing SGDK!

'z'+1 or {

Thank you so much!

I couldn't get

Code: Select all

'z'+1 

to work, but the left bracket did.

'z'+1 is a char, not a part of a string.

Code: Select all

const char foo[] = { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', 'z' + 1, '\0' };

Oh, silly me. Thank you!
