1F004;MAHJONG TILE RED DRAGON;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
1F005;MAHJONG TILE GREEN DRAGON;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
1F006;MAHJONG TILE WHITE DRAGON;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;

1F34E;RED APPLE;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
1F34F;GREEN APPLE;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;

1F534;LARGE RED CIRCLE;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
1F535;LARGE BLUE CIRCLE;So;0;ON;;;;;N;;;;;
