The script then exits. =head2 --unicode If this Boolean option is asserted, the suits are designated by their Unicode glyphs rather than by ASCII letters. For these to display properly your terminal must properly interpret Unicode. The default is C<--no-unicode>. =head2 --version This option displays the version of this script.
