Usage
[edit]{{chr|text|n}} = Returns the n-th character of text ( 1 ≤ n ≤ 499 ), and nothing if n is outside this range, or if n is greater than the length of the string.
Supports a fairly large character set, all 99 characters from Template:Chrfn and more. Returns "˚" on unknown characters. To avoid an automatic newline, the characters *#:; are returned inside <nowiki> tags.

Template argument size
[edit]A limitation is the maximum template argument size of 2048000 bytes per page.
For calls of this template this depends on the position of the character to be found in the list of supported characters: the later it occurs in the list, the more it is. Also, the higher the index n, the more it is.
Examples:
