For my part I think the unification is satisfactory enough (and you know how I am about over-unification). However, if you think that this unification was an over-unification, then perhaps we could work together to disunify them.

    To accomplish this we would need 157characters in addition to the ones already encoded:

    14 cards in the suit of Acorns
    14 cards in the suit of Bells
    14 cards in the suit of Roses
    14 cards in the suit of Shields
    14 cards in the suit of Swords
    14 cards in the suit of Cups
    14 cards in the suit of Pentacles
    14 cards in the suit of Wands
    22 cards for the Major Arcana
    22 cards for the non-esoteric Trumps
    1 red joker
