 It depends whether you liken the 'ugly' cheat of letting
 the picture flow over the frame like this
  ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___     ___ 
 |A  | |K  | |Q  | |J  | |10 | |9  | |8  | |7  | |6  | |5  |...|2  |

 |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/|   |_\/|
  ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___     ___ 
 |A  | |K  | |Q  | |J  | |10 | |9  | |8  | |7  | |6  | |5  |...|2  |
 | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\| | /\|   | /\|
 |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/| |_\/|   |_\/| 
  ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___   ___     ___ 
 |A  | |K  | |Q  | |J  | |10 | |9  | |8  | |7  | |6  | |5  |...|2  |
 |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo| |oOo|   |oOo|
 |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\|   |/_\|

 |A. | |K. | |Q. | |J. | |10 | |9. | |8. | |7. | |6. | |5. |...|2. |
 |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )| |( )|   |( )|
 |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\| |/_\|   |/_\|

It may be possible to go even smaller
  __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __
 |a | |k | |q | |j | |T | |9 | |8 | |7 | |6 | |5 | |4 | |3 | |2 |

  __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __
 |a | |k | |q | |j | |T | |9 | |8 | |7 | |6 | |5 | |4 | |3 | |2 |

  __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __   __

To go any further, the letter overlaps the picture

Or, smaller picture

 |aQ| |kQ| |qQ| |jQ| |tQ| |9Q| |8Q| |7Q| |6Q| |5Q| |4Q| |3Q| |2Q|
 |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__|
     
 |a<> |k<> |q<> |j<> |t<> |9<> |8<> |7<> |6<> |5<> |4<> |3<> |2<>
 |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__| |__|
 
 |a@| |k@| |q@| |j@| |t@| |9@| |8@| |7@| |6@| |5@| |4@| |3@| |2@|
 |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^|

 |aA| |kA| |qA| |jA| |tA| |9A| |8A| |7A| |6A| |5A| |4A| |3A| |4A|
 |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^| |_^|

You can use H, D, C, S instead of pictures of course.


Or print with visual symbols like this:

 A(') K(') Q(') J(') t(') 9(')...

 A< > K <> Q< > J< > t< > 9< >....

 AoOo KoOo QoOo JoOo toOo 9oOo...

 A/.\ K/.\ Q/.\ J/.\ t/.\ 9/.\...

The advantage to these in, say, a bridge program is that they have
a more natural 'feel' and are quicker to pick up visually than letters.
