Template documentationThis template provides the Alias, as defined by Unicode.
It also is used to determine whether a script is formally present in Unicode. (Script-id has an Alias <==> script is in Unicode).
A dozen ISO-defined scripts are merged into other scripts by Unicode. See /Unicode-merged-into-script.
Usage
Expected code input: {{{1}}}=an ISO 15924 code ("Latn" in alpha-4 OR its numeric code)
{{ISO 15924 alias|Latn}}→ Latin{{ISO 15924 alias|215}}→ Latin
Default output, in case the input is not found in the list, is blank (no text). It can be set different:
{{ISO 15924 alias|Latin}}→ (empty string){{ISO 15924 alias}}→ (empty string){{ISO 15924 alias|215|default=Unknown}}→ Latin{{ISO 15924 alias|Latin|default=Unknown}}→ Unknown
Version
