I update Chrome to 62.0.3202.84 on Android 4.4.2 and it is working fine.
It seems it is a Android 6.0.1 problem. But on this android it works with Firefox.

Comment 2 by shinygol...@gmail.com, Nov 22 2017 

This bug is very weird on 6.0.1.
It worked with latest Firefox v57. (It was upgraded form v56)
I reinstalled it, after that Firefox also does not apply css formatting. :-(

62.0.3202.84, 64.0.3275.0

Hmm, no idea how emojis and color interact...

Summary: Android font fallback fails to find contour font for card game symbols (was: unicode poker suits style problem on android)
Chrome on Android's font fallback only finds the emoji font for the card game glyphs. Since these are color bitmap glyphs they cannot be styled using CSS colors. 

As a workaround, I would recommend embedding a web font which has TrueType or CFF contour glyphs for the card symbols, so that they can be styled using CSS colors.

Tested in FF nightly: Allows color styling of these glyphs. I am not sure whether that's with a system font or with a font provided by FF.

Friendly ping. Is there any update on this issue.

Comment 9 by drott@chromium.org, Apr 9 2018 

There's no update. I don't think Android has a system font with contour versions of the cards glyphs, as mentioned in #7.
