Penalty card (yellow and red) emojis

[spixi]

Penalty cards are used by sports referees to warn or penalise players. The yellow card means a warning, the red card means a penalty (often ejection or disqualification). These symbols are often used in a figurative sense.

Some emoticon sets include both cards:

• Club Penguin emoticons list #418
• MaxQDA emoticode list #419
• Emoji.com Sport list #316 (also includes the “second yellow card” (showing both cards at the same time, which is specific to soccer), “soccer referee with red card” and “referee variation with yellow card”)

I'm afraid any proposal for these will be rejected as "already representable" by 🟨 and 🟥, although they are squares and not cards like 🎴🃏 are and ♠♣♥♦ used to look in some Japanese sets.

Maybe they can represented as a ZWJ sequence. 🂠 + ZWJ + 🟨 for yellow and 🂠 + ZWJ + 🟥 for red card. However, the semantics would be wrong, because cards in sports are not considered to be playing cards.

A new white card has recently been introduced in the Portuguese soccer league. It is used for fair play warnings, which are not penalties. Some other sports use a green card for this purpose.

Other card colors include blue (e. g. for a minor penalty) and black (e. g. for a disqualification)
