Converts Unicode character codes, always given in hexadecimal, to their UTF-8 or UTF-16 representation in upper-case hex or decimal. Can also reverse this for UTF-8. The UTF-16 form will accept and pass through unpaired surrogates e.g. {{#invoke:Unicode convert|getUTF8|D835}} → D835.
Module:Unicode data/scripts: data mapping characters to their Unicode script properties (from Scripts.txt). The name data modules (Module:Unicode data/names/xxx) were compiled from UnicodeData.txt. Each one contains, at maximum, code points U+xxx000 to U+xxxFFF.
Formats a Unicode character description inline. Template parameters [Edit template data] This template prefers inline formatting of parameters. Parameter Description Type Status Hex value 1 Hexadecimal unicode codepoint Example 031A String required Character name 2 The canonical name is fetched from Wikidata, there is no longer any need to specify it manually. If supplied, it is ignored ...
A Unicode code point, in hexadecimal. Example 26C7: String: required: Base: base: Base to output (hex, dec or LChex, though aliases to exist to match the invocation of the UTF-8 template). Does not affect input, which must be hexadecimal in either case. Default hex: String: optional: Edition: edition
Because a character’s Unicode code point is usually given in hexadecimal with a prefixed "U+", the hexadecimal code is arguably more convenient. Of course, when a name exists, a named reference (e.g., — for an em dash) is usually more convenient (and more easily recognized) than either numerical code. HTML character names (and the ...
A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name. A numeric character reference uses the format &#nnnn; or &#xhhhh; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form, and hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form.
Unicode characters can then be entered by holding down Alt, and typing + on the numeric keypad, followed by the hexadecimal code, and then releasing Alt. [2] This may not work for 5-digit hexadecimal codes like U+1F937. Some versions of Windows may require the digits 0-9 to be typed on the numeric keypad or require NumLock to be on. [citation ...
Unicode equivalence is the specification by the Unicode character encoding standard that some sequences of code points represent essentially the same character. This feature was introduced in the standard to allow compatibility with pre-existing standard character sets , which often included similar or identical characters.
