I don't know anything about it.  But I can see that these card emojis
are not characters - wrapped into a string you get a length of 2:

  (length "♠️") ==> 2

Inserting the two consecutive characters seems to work:

  (insert ?♠ 65039)  ;; inserts ♠️

So iso-transl-define-keys doesn't seem to be usable for this task
indeed.
