Definition
红桃 is a noun referring to the 'heart' suit in a deck of playing cards. It literally means 'red peach', and the symbol ♥ is shaped like a peach. In card games, you might hear '红桃三' (three of hearts). Be careful that pinyin is hóng táo, not gōng as listed in the source — the source pinyin appears to be an error.
n.
(playing cards) heart (suit)
