Template:Circumflex/doc
The {{circumflex}} ({{circ}} or {{hat}}) (circumflex accent) diacritics template returns the UTF-16 HTML [hexadecimal] numeric character entity for a precomposed character with a circumflex accent diacritic. (As a fallback, it returns a combining character for any Latin or Cyrillic character.)
With the tex option, the template returns the LaTeX code for the circumflex accent character.
Contents
Note: This is for XHTML5 future proofing, where named character entities should not be used, except the following four
Named entity Glyph & & < < > > " "
Numeric character entities or glyphs (except the four above glyphs, which have a special meaning in HTML) should be used instead.[1]
Usage
HTML
- {{hat|alphabetic character}}
or
- {{hat|alphabetic character|htm}}
where character
is either from
- {A, E, I, O, U, a, e, i, o, u, w, y}: to get a precomposed character;
- any other character from the Latin alphabet: to get a combining character (where an almost perfect accented character is created);
- or any character from the Cyrillic alphabet: to get a combining character (where an almost perfect accented character is created).
LaTeX
- {{hat|any Latin or Cyrillic character|tex}}
Examples
The code
- {{hat}}
yields
