Template:Foreign character

The title of this article contains the character {{{2}}}. Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as {{{1}}}.

Template documentation

This template is designed to help users who may be unfamiliar with the use of "foreign" characters in (titles of) articles. It allows the article to make reference to the troublesome letter directly, and give the equivalent spelling if one sticks to the "English alphabet" of non-accented characters. It was originally designed to help deal with titles of articles that contain the German ß, but is equally applicable to other characters, such as the ç in façade, etc.

Usage

Typing {{foreignchar|Grossglockner|ß}} produces this output:

The title of this article contains the character ß. Where it is unavailable or not desired, the name may be represented as Grossglockner.
