[[File:FIAV {{{1}}}.svg|x15px|class=noviewer|Vexillological description]]
This template can be used to put vexillological symbols in flag descriptions. Furthermore, when this template is used, some explanation text will be shown when the mouse pointer is placed over the displayed symbol. A bug in WP:Navigation popups will prevent this.
Usage
The symbols exist as SVG-files at commons:Category:Vexillological symbols.
Usage symbols
Usage symbols are created from a 6-figure combination of ones and zeros:
