  HTML 4 Entities   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Character entity references, or entities for short, provide a method of entering characters that cannot be expressed in the document's character encoding or that cannot easily be entered on a keyboard.
Numeric character references may be given in decimal or hexadecimal, though browser support is stronger for decimal references.
A rendering of each character reference is provided so that users may check their browsers' compliance.

 Numeric character reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A numeric character reference (NCR) is a common markup construct used in SGML and other SGML-based markup languages such as HTML and XML.
NCRs are typically used in to represent characters that are not directly encodable in a particular document.
There is another kind of character reference called a character entity reference, which allows a character to be referred to by a name instead of a number.

 Learn About HTML and Unicode
In order to work around the limitations of legacy encodings, HTML is designed such that it is possible to represent characters from the whole of Unicode inside an HTML document by using a numeric character reference: a sequence of characters that explicitly spell out the Unicode code point of the character being represented.
The characters that comprise the numeric character reference are universally representable in every encoding approved for use on the Internet.
Although any Unicode character can be referenced by its numeric code point, some HTML document authors prefer to use these named entities instead, where possible, as they are less cryptic and more widely supported by older browsers.

 HTML Document Representation
The document character set, however, does not suffice to allow user agents to correctly interpret HTML documents as they are typically exchanged -- encoded as a sequence of bytes in a file or during a network transmission.
The "charset" parameter identifies a character encoding, which is a method of converting a sequence of bytes into a sequence of characters.
Character references within comments have no special meaning; they are comment data only.

 Technique for conversion of Unicode to MARC-8 (Network Development and MARC Standards Office, Library of Congress)
Character modifiers like diacritics could also lose their base character so a rule for dropping 'dangling' diacritics would be needed or else the modifier would appear to modify the previous character in the string.
An NCR for one character has the following structure: and#x05e4; where "and" and ";" surround the reference, "#x" indicates that it is a numeric reference expressed in hex, and "05e4" is the hexadecimal representation of the character's code point in ISO/IEC 10646.
The NCR may also be structured with the decimal representation of the character's code point, but the discussion favored using only one type of NCR, the hexadecimal one.

 Dash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The en dash is sometimes used as a substitute for the minus sign, when the minus sign character is not available, since the en dash is usually the same width as a plus sign.
Typographically, they have the width of one CJK character cell, and follow the direction of the text (horizontal for horizontal text, vertical for columnar).
Some text editors, for example, are restricted to working with a single 8-bit character encoding, and when unencodable characters are entered (e.g., by pasting from the clipboard), they are often blindly converted to question marks.

 Character References Explained - Lachy’s Log
For example, using a control character in the range from 0 to 31 (except for tab, newline and carriage return) either directly or with a numeric character reference results in a well-formedness error.
Character entity references can be used in HTML and in XML; but for XML, other than the 5 predefined entities, need to be defined in a DTD (such as with XHTML and MathML).
It is recommended that you stick with the 5 predefined entity references and numeric character references, or use a Unicode encoding.

The following HTML 4 character reference table can be used to enter such special characters using the associated "numeric character reference" code or the "character entity reference" code.
Numeric character reference ("ID" column in the table) is the numeric representation of a given character.

Character entities have been introduced by SGML and made widely popular through HTML, the markup language in use for the World Wide Web, or Web or WWW for short.
When there is an entity name for a character, it is always preferred over a numeric character reference.

 Unicode and HTML - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Both types of documents consist, at a fundamental level, of characters, which are graphemes and grapheme-like units, independent of how they manifest in computer storage systems and networks.
However, an XHTML document is an XML document, which, while not having an explicit "document character" layer of abstraction, nevertheless relies upon a similar definition of permissible characters that cover most, but not all, of the Unicode/UCS character definitions.
Although any Unicode character can be referenced by its numeric code point, some HTML document authors prefer to use these named entities instead, where possible, as they are less cryptic and were better supported by early browsers.

This character is probably better known under the name "period" (which was the name used for it in Unicode version 1.0) and is commonly used as a punctuation character but also for other purposes.
This character is sometimes used as an opening delimiter for parenthetic remarks of some special kind in natural languages, especially when such remarks are nested or they present editorial insertions, corrections, and comments in quoted material and in reference citations.

Character entities are XML general entities that provide a name for a single Unicode character.
Character entities can be referenced using a numeric character reference, for example, the decimal and#8364; or the hexadecimal and#x20AC; for the Euro symbol.
(Numeric character references can't be used in CDATA sections or in XML names, however.) Character entities can also be referenced using a named character entity, for example, andeuro; for the Euro symbol.

 XML.com: Entity and Character References
A numeric character reference is a way to indicate a character by using its code point number; no declaration is necessary, so it's not a named unit of storage, and therefore not an entity.

That's not an entity, it's a numeric character entity reference, but like an entity reference, the XML parser that hands the source document to the XSLT processor is required by the XML Recommendation to map it to the appropriate character of the result document in the result document's encoding if it can.
