This template creates a simple text "icon" consisting of some character or text surrounded by two pairs of braces.
An example is the "{{❢}}" that you can see in the title of a template documentation box, which is generated by {{notice icon|❢|royalblue}}
.
The primary purpose of these icons is to add a little bit of visual flair. This template makes it easy to create them.
Usage
{{notice icon|<character>|<colour>|<glow colour>}}
<text> is the character that will appear between the braces in the icon. It doesn't need to be a single character. It can technically be any text, even with wiki markup. It could even be an image. Generally though, Unicode symbols are easiest.
<colour> is the colour of the icon. You can use anything recognized by Cascading Style Sheets as a colour. If not specified, it just defaults to boring black.
<glow colour> sets the colour of the "glow" around the icon. By default it's white. If you want to disable the glow, set this to "none".
