About The Codes

Using the Entity Codes

The Unicode numeric entity codes can be expressed as either decimal numbers or
hexadecimal numbers.

For instance, the decimal version of Coptic ⲟⲣⲑⲟⲇⲟⲝⲟⲥ ("Orthodox") would be &‌#11423;&‌#11427;&‌#11409;#11423;&‌#11399;&‌#11423;&‌#11421;&‌#11423;&‌#11429;

The hexadecimal version of Coptic ⲟⲣⲑⲟⲇⲟⲝⲟⲥ ("Orthodox") is
&‌#x2C9F;&‌#x2CA3;&‌#x2C91;&‌#x2C9F;&‌#x2C87;&‌#x2C9F;&‌#x2C9D;&‌#x2C9F;&‌#x2CA5;
Note that the hexadecimal numbers include xas part of the code.
