Template:Circumflex

The following documentation is located at Template:Circumflex/doc. [<Edit> Template:Circumflex/doc]
[⧼Purge⧽ Template:Circumflex]

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.

Note: This is for XHTML5 future proofing, where named character entities should not be used, except the following four

Named entity	Glyph
&	&
&lt;	<
&gt;	>
&quot;	"

Numeric character entities or glyphs (except the four above glyphs, which have a special meaning in HTML) should be used instead.

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

̂

The code

{{math|{{hat||tex}}|$}}

yields

$\textstyle {\hat {}}$
