| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Some items have characters surrounding the name, which is a way to determine certain properties at a glance.

Sword Ordinary
-Sword- Template:L

≡Sword≡ Template:L
☼Sword☼ Template:L
See Template:L for a full explanation of how better qualities improve Template:L and Template:L.
Improvement / Decoration
«Sword» Improved or Template:L
Decoration can have a quality modifier themselves, leading to combinations such as:
*«Sword»* Superior improvement/decoration
≡«+Sword+»≡ Exceptional improvement/decoration on a finely-crafted object
*«≡Sword≡»* Exeptional sword with superior decoration
These quality modifiers can be hidden in Template:L with [SHOW_IMP_QUALITY:NO].
