This template was created to allow easy switching to unicode fonts. It should only be used in cases where characters do otherwise not render correctly on some browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer.

• for various non-Latin scripts, use {{Lang}} if possible, or {{Script}} otherwise.
• for MUFI encoding (non-Unicode), use {{Mufi}}.
