SILE is Unicode compatible, and expects its input files to be in the UTF-8 encoding.

(The actual range of Unicode characters supported will depend on the supported ranges of the fonts that SILE is using to typeset.)

Some Unicode characters are hard to locate on a standard keyboard, and so are difficult to enter into SILE documents.

The \autodoc:package{unichar} package helps with this problem by providing the \autodoc:command{\unichar} command to enter Unicode codepoints.

\begin[type=autodoc:codeblock]{raw}

\unichar{U+263A}

\end{raw}

This produces: \font[family=Symbola]{\unichar{U+263A}}

If the argument to \autodoc:command{\unichar} begins with \code{U+}, \code{u+}, \code{0x}, or \code{0X}, then it is assumed to be a hexadecimal value.

Otherwise it is assumed to be a decimal codepoint.
