The Curator's Code Plugin integrates the via (ᔥ) and hat tip (↬) attribution functions of the Curator's Code into the WordPress editor dashboard. After installation, click the ᔥ and ↬ icons to insert a via or hat tip attribution.

The unicode symbols ᔥ and ↬ are simply shorthand for the familiar "via" and "HT," respectively. While you may still choose to use "via" and "HT" the old-fashioned way – the goal here is to attribute ethically, regardless of how you do it – there are two reasons we are proposing the unicode characters: One, they are a cleaner, more standardized way to attribute. Two, since the characters are wrapped in a hotlink to the Curator's Code site, they serve as messengers for the ethos of the code itself, as people encounter them across the web and click to find out what they represent.
