What's interesting is that the card formats display properly in Code view, but nothing at all shows up in Book View.

A poster in the Calibre section suggested I use HTML instead so I search/replaced for
♠
♥
♦
♣

However, once again, while this HTML code shows up in code view (obviously), nothing shows up in Sigil's book view.

Am I missing something?
Weird
3.4 in XP
opened sigil (default document)
switched to CV typed the 4 suites next to the &nbsp; in the only <p> tag. Switched to BV they show, Switched to CV and the entities have been replaced with the symbols. Tidy is ON
