HTML Character Entities Decimal-Number Encoding Reference Lists
This section contains a group of pages listing all of the HTML decimal-reference code designations for displaying individual characters in a browser.
The HTML codes listed on my site are only the 'Decimal' character references; where-as some of the characters do have an addition 'Name' code assigned to them and/ or they have other reference types-- but only the decimal references are listed here.

According to my research, the 'decimal reference' is preferred over other possible references to the same character because the decimal references are more widely supported in multiple browsers.
Each page contains five-thousand character references, and you can expect that not all of the decimal references will display a character in your browser.
In some cases the decimal reference is not assigned to any character. However, I do not know which of the decimal character references that do Not display in my browser are in fact references that have no character assigned to that decimal reference.
The upper limit of the HTML decimal number character code reference is 65535; which is equal to 2 raised to the 16th power minus 1.
Additional numeric character references use hexadecimal numbers, (base 16: 0 to 9, and A to F) but hexadecimal character references are not well supported in browsers at this time.
"... It is possible to eliminate the final ';' after a character reference in some cases... (but)... We strongly suggest using the ';' in all cases to avoid problems with user agents that require this character to be present." - The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C): HTML Document Representation: Character References.
