__NOTOC__

===Usage===

{{hatnote|Use this rcat template on '''[[wp:mainspace|mainspace]] redirects only'''.}}

{{hatnote|If this rcat is added to a redirect that is in any namespace other than mainspace, an error box will appear on the redirect, and the redirect will be sorted to {{cat|Pages with templates in the wrong namespace}}.}}

* This redirect category ([[WP:RCAT|rcat]]) template populates {{Cat|Redirects from Unicode codes}} and {{Cat|Unprintworthy redirects}} by default. In 2003, efforts were begun to support the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]'s goal of increasing access and availability of ''Wikipedia'' articles in {{diff|Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0||1319195|printed versions}}. Redirects from Unicode symbols are not suitable for a printed version. In other words they are [[WP:Printworthiness|unprintworthy]].

* Add this rcat to a [[WP:Redirect pages|redirect page]] (''not'' a [[Help:talk-page|talk-page]] redirect) in the following manner:

<pre>

#REDIRECT [[(target article title or page name)]]

{{Rcat shell|

To use, simply add {{tlc|R from Unicode code}} on the line after the redirect.

{{R from Unicode code}}

{{R unprintworthy}}

}}

</pre>

: Template {{tl|Rcat shell}} is an alias for the ''Redirect category shell'' template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:

<pre>

#REDIRECT [[(target article title or page name)]]

{{R from Unicode code}}

'''The first template parameter is no longer necessary and should not be used.''' It was previously used to set a custom [[WP:Sortkey|category sortkey]], but the sortkey is now generated automatically from the page title.

</pre>

: This is in accord with instructions found at [[WP:REDCAT]].

* Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from a Unicode [[code point]] to an article about the character it represents. An example would be "u+006C", which is the Unicode code for the letter "L".

==== Aliases ====

* <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:R_from_Unicode_code|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} Also known as...]</span> – list of templates that redirect here and may also be used
