That's correct ---either '127 or "57 (but see: a single ' or double ", 
from the right hand column).

You are declaring the size (12pt). Let's do it `a la LaTeX':


\documentclass[12pt]{article}

\DeclareSymbolFont{extraup}{U}{zavm}{m}{n}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\solidheart}{\mathord}{extraup}{'126}
\DeclareMathSymbol{\soliddiamond}{\mathord}{extraup}{'127}


\begin{document}

{\Huge
$\heartsuit$  $\solidheart$ $\diamondsuit$ $\soliddiamond$

}

\end{document}

I took the line \DeclareSymbolFont{extraup}{U}{zavm}{m}{n} from 
arevmath.sty.

You can change \solidheart and \soliddiamond to whatever is appropriate 
for you.

Change \mathord to \mathbin or \mathrel as appropriate.
