Template:ISO 15924 alias/doc

This template provides the Alias, as defined by Unicode.

It also is used to determine whether a scripot is formally present in Unicode. (Script-id has an Alias <==> script is in Unicode).

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

• Alias names as of 2020-03-13, aligned with Unicode version 13.0. [1] and [2] (Latest Version files). File version self-identifies as "PropertyValueAliases-13.0.0.txt # Date: 2019-11-13, 21:52:10 GMT"

ISO updates

The ISO 15924 list of script codes is updated regularly, usually at least once a year. The current list is complete as of 25 January 2021, and defines 208 codes (code, number, script name).

Note: when resolving red links or wrong links, edit {{ISO 15924/wp-name}} or {{ISO 15924/wp-category}}. That is where the connection between ISO code and Wikipedia names is made.
