Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

((Indic glyph)) is used to add a tree of related characters from various Indic scripts to articles on pan-Indic letters.

Parameters[edit]

This template takes one of two parameters to display a character. The parameters are the ISO 15924 four letter code for the script (or an alternate prefix for scripts not in that standard), followed by "cp" to specify the plain text codepoint, or "img" to specify the filename of the image of the character. If both are specified, the image will be displayed in preference to a text character. In addition, the ISO 15924 code + "2cp" or "2img" will show an additional character for that script.

The Brahmi script has parameters for specifying image files in three major stylistic periods - Ashoka, Kushana, and Gupta Brahmi - which all share the same codepoint. Finally, there is one parameter for specifying the ISCII code point of a character for the 9 scripts inherited into Unicode from that standard (Unicode unified Bengali and Assamese from ISCII).
