I'm afraid you can't get them.
I'd rather suspect there are no glyphs in fonts at these places, at all - I saw it only on Terminal font, but it is not TrueType but bitmap font so I guess LB does not supports it (?)

In graphic window you can use Symbol font (works for me under Win10)
nomainwin
'WindowTop = 1
'WindowHeight = 1000
open "test" for graphics as #gr
#gr "trapclose [quit]"
#gr "down"

#gr "font symbol"

print #gr, "\"
print #gr, "\"
for i = 167 to 170
   print #gr, "\";i; chr$(i)
next

wait

[quit]
close #gr
end


EDIT 1.

 I just set Editor font to Terminal - now I have chr(3)-chr(6) card symbols in a mainwin!
Though it's small and ugly so I'd rather revert to Courier.

EDIT 2.

I cannot set control font / graphic box font to terminal - so I cannot use it in GUI

But I could set it to Symbol.

(but Symbol has no normal characters)

Though having one font for normal characters AND card symbols, like in Terminal, would be handy.

I'm hoping the next major release of LB supports Unicode in some fashion, because that would make including such symbols easy. Heck, Unicode 6.0 has individual symbols for a complete deck of standard playing cards.
