In Python:

>>> "\N{BLACK SPADE SUIT}"
'♠'
>>> "\u2660"
'♠'

>>> wanted_function('♠')
["BLACK SPADE SUIT", "u2660"]

    You may find the unicodedata module handy:

    >>> s = "\N{BLACK SPADE SUIT}"
>>> s
'♠'
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name(s)
'BLACK SPADE SUIT'
>>> ord(s)
9824
>>> hex(ord(s))
'0x2660'
