<p>Internationalization specifications use (and we recommend the use of) this template for character references:</p>

<pre>
&lt;span class="codepoint" translate="no">&lt;bdi lang="??">&#xXXXX;&lt;/bdi>
[&lt;code class="uname">U+XXXX Unicode_character_name&lt;/code>]&lt;/span>
&lt;span class="codepoint" translate="no">&lt;bdi lang="??">&#xXXXX;&lt;/bdi>
&lt;code class="uname">U+XXXX Unicode_character_name&lt;/code>&lt;/span>
</pre>

<p>Filling in the above template like this:</p>

<pre>
&lt;span class="codepoint" translate="no">&lt;bdi lang="fr">&#x00E9;&lt;/bdi>
[&lt;code class="uname">U+00E9 LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE&lt;/code>]&lt;/span>
&lt;span class="codepoint" translate="no">&lt;bdi lang="fr">&#x00E9;&lt;/bdi>

</aside>

<p>Some notes about the markup used. The <code translate=no>bdi</code> element is used to ensure that example characters that are [=right-to-left=] do not interfere with the layout of the page. The <code translate=no>lang</code> attribute should be filled in with the most appropriate [[BCP47]] [=language tag=] to get the correct font selection (and other processing) for a given context. Examples in East Asian languages (such as Chinese, Japanese, or Korean) or in the Arabic script can sometimes require greater care in choosing a language tag.</p>
