In the midst of my card game development using HTML, JS, and CSS on the Meteor platform. To represent the hearts suit, I utilize ♥ and for diamonds, it's ♦. The color scheme is crimson with color: #FF0000; in the CSS code. The font-family is elegantly styled as font-family: 'Times', serif;. Interestingly, these elements appear in red on desktops or iPhones but mysteriously turn black on Chrome browsers found on Android devices. Strangely, the rank remains scarlet, suggesting a quirky behavior specifically related to the icons themselves.
Prior to showcasing the suit string, each element undergoes the SafeString function within Spacebar.
suitString: function(suit) {
var suits = {'H': '♥', 'S':'♠', 'D':'♦', 'C':'♣'}
return Spacebars.SafeString(suits[suit]);
}
The discrepancy seems tied to the font rendering process for the icons on the Android operating system. Why this anomaly happens still eludes me. Could it be attributed to how the SafeString function operates?
Seeking insight into resolving this conundrum and ensuring consistent coloring across all platforms minus resorting to images for the suits.
Your input will be greatly appreciated!
