Older version of the Encodefirst template from wikipedia.

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 in which a character may be processed as though it were at the beginning of a line.

Usage

{{Encodefirst|<string>}}

Examples

The output looks like the input whether a character is replaced or not.

{{Encodefirst|*Lisp}}

produces:

{{Encodefirst|*Lisp}}
