In its basic version, this template sets the font for its argument to one which is likely to support special symbols. The argument is specified using [[Html_characters#HTML_character_references|HTML character encoding]], either in decimal (e.g. <tt>&#123;</tt>) or hexadecimal (e.g. <tt>&#xA9;</tt>). Examples:
* {{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 some browsers)
or
* {{code|<nowiki>{{unicode|&#x22C9;}}</nowiki>}} → {{unicode|⋉}}
* {{code|<nowiki>{{unicode|&#8905;}}</nowiki>}} → {{unicode|⋉}}
* {{code|<nowiki>{{unicode|⋉}}</nowiki>}} → {{unicode|⋉}}
==Subject==

The currently supported subjects are animal, astro, chem, communication, dentistry, education, emoticon, enclosed, event, food, game, map, medicine, money, music, person, picto, plant, politicsreligion, region, sport, technology, time, ui, warning, weather. <!-- EDITORS, complete list of which symbols are included in which subjects, and support for the subjects by various fonts, is in the TALK page for the doco. --> Examples:
