In "hand diagram" display of cards -
Is it possible to display 10 using sysmbol "T" instead of sysmbol "10" ?

1. For website - it will save one character space. it will use only onie character, instead of two characters.
2. For players - it will be easier to count the number of cards.

It is beneficial for both, website and players.

Welcome to the forum, kmkul. This has been discussed many times in the past, and it's not likely to change.

"10" is the way most bridge literature shows this card in hand diagrams. Look at the ACBL Bulletin, Bridge World, and most newspaper bridge columns, for example. Or hand diagrams on bridgewinners.com. Open almost any bridge book and I think you'll see "10", not "T".

Here are two almost-two-year-old threads on the subject. The first one includes a response from Fred: http://www.bridgebas...t-a-9-out-of-t/
