Unicode 7.0 added a specific red joker and twenty-two generic trump cards with the reference description being not the Major Arcana
Joker (playing card) cards provide symbols for three jokers: red, black, and white. Many decks do not provide the Joker with a corner index symbol, of those that do, the most common is a solid five-pointed star or a star within a circle. It is also very common for decks to simply use a stylized "J" or the word "JOKER" in the corner. Like sports trading cards, jokers are often prized by collectors. Many unusual jokers are available for purchase online while other collectible jokers are catalogued online for viewing. Some European games have as many as six jokers per pack. Zwicker uses
