Nice page. I have a question. The code for Chinese characters in
your page does not look like unicode. Your code is &# plus 5 digits.
I remember that unicde for Chinese characters is &#x plus 4 digits, at
least I did that way with the unicode chart, and it works. What type
of code is it in your page?


I suppose &# plus 5 digits is decimal, and &#x plus 4 digits is
hexadecimal. The latter is easier because the Unicode codepages are
also in hexadecimal. Otherwise it makes no difference and it just a
matter of personal preference.

Actually it is
&#<digits>;
or
&#x<digits>;

the trailing semi-colon is mandatory; and the number of digits
(decimal or hexadecimal) does not matter.

Some say decimal is supported by more browsers than hexaecimal, but
that's now probably a thing of the past.

The hexadecimal representation is actually not (yet) defined in
the SGML (HTML is a kind of SGML) standard. However, most browssers
handle it anyway.
