Customized card
Actually any string will be allowed to be shown as a "card", e.g.: =,  = ,  = ,  =

If one of "s", "h", "d", "c", "r", "b" in lower or upper case, and ♠, ♥, ♦, ♣ is at the end, it will be thought as a suit. A "&" symbol can be used to escape, as: =,  = ,  =

The first letter of "a", "k", "q", "kn", "j", "jkr" and "x" will be capitalized. To prevent it, put them in a :  =
