Template:Unichar2

❧

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template uses Lua:

Like {{Unichar}}, this template produces a formatted description of a Unicode character, to be used inline or otherwise with regular text.

Usage

The unichar2 template takes a Unicode character as input.

The character {{unichar2|©}} is about intellectual property. →
The character U+00A9 © COPYRIGHT SIGN is about intellectual property.

Otherwise the template behaves the same as {{unichar}} (whose primary input is a Unicode codepoint). See TM:Unichar/doc for the other parameters.

Limitations

MediaWiki applies Normalization Form C to every edit. This means that some characters cannot be displayed using unichar2 because they will be converted to the corresponding normalized character(s). For example putting the character U+2126 Ω OHM SIGN into unichar2 and saving the edit will result in U+03A9 Ω GREEK CAPITAL LETTER OMEGA. The workaround for this, which is used in this very section, is to simply use {{unichar}} instead.
