How to make vector of Unicode characters align with 1x2 matrix of numbers

I have the following code:

    playerCards = [2 1];

    allSuites = [9824 9827 9829 9830]; 
    % all possible unicode values for bold card suites
    dispplayerCards = [];
    % initialising vector to display card suite (random) with given number
    storeUnicode = [];

    for i = 1:length(playerCards)
        randSuite = randsample(allSuites,1); 
        % selects random suite unicode number
        storeUnicode = [char(randSuite) storeUnicode];
        % stores random unicode suite symbol in the vector
    end
    disp(storeUnicode);
    disp(playerCards);
    

When the results print in the command window, this is what I can see:

    ♦♦
     2     1

Is there any way to make the output such as this:

     ♦     ♦
     2     1

such that each element of storeUnicode array is placed directly above each element of playerCards array?

Thank you.

Nothing in that code prevents the same card from being generated multiple times. Suppose that the player cards were 3 5 3 then you generate a random suit for the 3 but 1/4 of the time you will generate the same suit for the second 3.

Walter I did not realise about this, I will take this into consideration when I am making my final project file.

clear,clc

playerCards  = [];
storeUnicode = [];
allSuites    = [9824 9827 9829 9830];                    % all possible unicode values for bold card suites

for k = 1:5
    playerCards = [playerCards,randi(10,1,1)];
    randSuite = randsample(allSuites,1);                    % selects random suite unicode number
    storeUnicode = [storeUnicode,char(randSuite)];          % stores random unicode suite symbol in the vector
    fprintf([repmat('   %c   ',1,k),'\n',repmat('   %d   ',1,k),'\n\n'],[storeUnicode,playerCards])
end

Hello Davide, thank you for your answer.

If the size of the playerCards vector is increasing in size i.e. it's in a while loop and the playerCards vector becomes [2 1 1] then is it possible to use this code within the loop?

Thank you in advance.
