Template:Special chat character

This template is used to display Special chat characters using an icon-only font.
Icons can be specified using their hexidecimal codepoint, or using an aliased shortcode.
Documentation for Template:Special chat character does not exist yet [create] (How does this work?)
Example
The unnamed parameter is treated as a shortcode:
{{Special chat character|time}}→ {{Special chat character|ilvl}}→ {{Special chat character|autol}}→ {{Special chat character|autor}}→ {{Special chat character|lv}}→ {{Special chat character|lv1}}→
Invalid shortcodes result in a render error:
{{Special chat character|doesn't exist}}→ Unknown shortcode: doesn't exist
To use icons that don't have a defined shortcode, give the named parameter code as the character's unicode value in hex: (this is restricted to characters starting with E0 to avoid rendering anything out of the Unicode private use area)
{{Special chat character|code=E037}}→ {{Special chat character|code=e0b0}}→
Icon color can be controlled like any text:
<font color="gold">{{Special chat character|gil}}</font>→
