We can't tranclude {{int:semicolon-separator}} directly in Wikitext, because the ASCII semicolon that starts it is then wikified into a definition list with a defined term (and this breaks the sentences). We have to detect it (using URLENCODE) and then insert a <nowiki/> before the actual semicolon.

The URLENCODED value of {{int:semicolon-separator}} is:

• "%3B" in English
• "%C2%A0%3B" in French

The semicolon returned by this "int:semicolon-separator" is generally a single punctuation character, but not always.

However, it does not contain the normal ASCII space that should follow it, except in East-Asian scripts where the returned fullwidth semicolon is to be used alone (it is already centered in the ideographic square; this remark also applies to the translation of the Latin colon using the fullwidth variant).

In Arabic, there's a distinctive rotated semicolon, preferable to the Latin semicolon.

In Greek, the ASCII semicolon creates confusion with the Greek question mark ";" (U+037E) which is very similar. To avoid it, the semicolon returned by this template for Greek will be a middle dot instead (after a non-breaking narrow space, also needed to avoid confusion with Greek accents).
