The template correctly renders Unicode sharps (♯) flats (♭) and natural signs (♮) in Internet Explorer which would otherwise display empty squares. The choice of fonts also improves the rendering in other browsers on Microsoft Windows such as Mozilla Firefox. See the table below to compare the results in your current browser.
| Without template | With template | |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | ♭ | ♭ |
| Natural | ♮ | ♮ |
| Sharp | ♯ | ♯ |
| double flat | 𝄫 | double flat |
| double sharp | 𝄪 | double sharp |
The template also makes use of SVG to display double flat (double flat) and double sharp (double sharp) signs since the corresponding Unicode characters are not widely supported.
Examples
Flat sign
{{accidental|flat}} renders ♭
{{accidental|doubleflat}} renders double flat
Natural sign
{{accidental|natural}} renders ♮
Sharp sign
{{accidental|sharp}} renders ♯
{{accidental|doublesharp}} renders double sharp
