numeric character reference

In XML-based languages, a numerical (decimal or hexadecimal) reference to a character’s Unicode value, used to insert characters which would be hard to type, which are not available in the chosen character set encoding, or which form part of an XML tag, for example &#x3c; for the < symbol.


The glossary contains nearly 700 terms. Except for some common mis-spellings and Americanisms, definitions are only returned if they match the term you entered exactly. If you cannot find a definition for a term you expect to be in the glossary, try consulting the full list of terms.
