	~~==Usage==~~		This template exists to allow easy switching to [[wikipedia:Unicode font\|Unicode fonts]]. It should ''only'' be used in cases where characters otherwise do not render correctly on some browsers, such as Internet Explorer.
	~~The~~ template ~~looks for letter~~ font ~~families that are broadly supporting incurrent characters (symbols, characters)~~. ~~Input can be decimal like <tt>&#123;</tt> or hexadecimal <tt>&#xA9;</tt>. E.g. (mind the~~ 'x' ~~for hex values):~~
	* {{code\|<nowiki>{{unicode\|&#x22CA;}}</nowiki>}} --> {{unicode\|⋊}}
	* {{code\|<nowiki>{{unicode\|&#8906;}}</nowiki>}} --> {{unicode\|⋊}}
	* {{code\|<nowiki>{{unicode\|⋊}}</nowiki>}} --> {{unicode\|⋊}} (this may look trivial, but could be ~~helpful~~ in ~~other~~ browsers)
	or
	* {{code\|<nowiki>{{unicode\|&#x22C9;}}</nowiki>}} --> {{unicode\|⋉}}
	* {{code\|<nowiki>{{unicode\|&#8905;}}</nowiki>}} --> {{unicode\|⋉}}
	* {{code\|<nowiki>{{unicode\|⋉}}</nowiki>}} --> {{unicode\|⋉}}

	~~==Purpose==~~		The fonts selected are designed to maximize the probability to render uncommon Unicode characters correctly. However, different fonts cover different [[wikipedia:Universal Character Set characters\|Unicode ranges]]. It is probably most useful for showing more esoteric [[wikipedia:Unicode symbols\|Unicode symbols]].
	~~This template is created~~ to ~~allow easy switching~~ to [[w:~~unicode font~~\|~~unicode font~~]]s. It ~~should ''only'' be used in cases where characters otherwise do not render correctly on some browsers, such as Internet Explorer~~.

	The ~~fonts selected~~ are ~~designed~~ to ~~maximize~~ the ~~probability to render uncommon~~ Unicode ~~characters correctly. However~~, ~~different fonts cover different [[w:Mapping of~~ Unicode ~~characters~~\|Unicode ~~ranges]]. It is probably mostly useful for various [[w:~~Unicode ~~symbols~~\|Unicode ~~symbols]].~~		== Usage ==
			The template looks for letter font families that are broadly supporting incurrent characters (symbols, characters). Input can be decimal like <code>&#123;</code> or hexadecimal <code>&#xA9;</code>. Remember to mind the <code>x</code> for hexadecimal values.
			* {{Tlx\|Unicode\|&#x22CA;}} ⇒ {{Unicode\|⋊}}
			* {{Tlx\|Unicode\|&#8906;}} ⇒ {{Unicode\|⋊}}
			* {{Tlx\|Unicode\|⋊}} ⇒ {{Unicode\|⋊}} (this may look trivial, but could be helpful in other browsers)
			or
			* {{Tlx\|Unicode\|&#x22C9;}} ⇒ {{Unicode\|⋉}}
			* {{Tlx\|Unicode\|&#8905;}} ⇒ {{Unicode\|⋉}}
			* {{Tlx\|Unicode\|⋉}} ⇒ {{Unicode\|⋉}}

	==~~Guts of template~~==		== Internal logic ==
	~~<code><nowiki><~~span class="Unicode"~~>{{{1}~~}}<~~/span></nowiki></~~code>		HTML {{Tag\|span\|params=class="Unicode"}} tags are wrapped around the template's raw input, wherein <code>class="Unicode"</code> is defined in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] as:
			<div style="max-width: 33vmax; margin-left: 2.5em;"><syntaxhighlight lang="css">
	~~...wherein~~ class="Unicode" is defined in [[MediaWiki:Common.js]]:
	<~~source~~ lang="~~CSS~~">
	.Unicode {		.Unicode {
	font-family: "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode";		font-family: "Arial Unicode MS", "Lucida Sans Unicode";
	}		}
	</~~source~~>		</syntaxhighlight></div>

			By extension, this means that an editor may duplicate the output of this template by directly wrapping the raw character codes in {{Tag\|span\|params=style="font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS','Lucida Sans Unicode';"}} tags when editing the page and thus not need to invoke this template.

			== User-defined Unicode fonts ==
			A [[Special:MyPage/global.css\|User stylesheet]] or User skin-specific stylesheet (at [[Special:MyPage/vector.css\|vector.css]], [[Special:MyPage/foreground.css\|foreground.css]] or [[Special:MyPage/metrolook.css\|metrolook.css]]) with class <code>.Unicode { font-family: <var>"preferred-font-family-name"</var>; }</code> may be used to enforce another preferred typeface family on all Kodi Wiki skins or only a single skin, respectively, if desired.<includeonly>

	~~A personal stylesheet (/monobook.css &c, class ''.Unicode'') may be used to enforce a "prettier" display where preferred.~~
