Template:Encodefirst
This template replaces the first character of the argument with its HTML entity if it is one of four wiki markup characters : ; * #. This can sometimes fix the issue at [[Wikipedia:Help:Template#Problems and workarounds|]] where a character may be processed as though it were at the beginning of a line.
Usage
{{Encodefirst|<string>}}
