Contract bridge notation

In bridge:

• bids during the auction are described by a number from one to seven followed by a suit denomination, e.g. 7♣ is a bid of seven clubs.
• individual cards are referred to by their suit denomination followed by their rank, e.g. ♣7 is the seven of clubs.
• bridge hands are described using one of several templates listed in Category:Contract bridge templates such as {{BridgeHandInline}}, e.g. {{BridgeHandInline|AJ3|K974|J74|KQ6}} renders ♠ AJ3 ♥ K974 ♦ J74 ♣ KQ6
