Example
<p>Numeric character references represent characters from the Universal Character Set (UCS) of Unicode. They are used to reference characters that cannot easily be directly encoded in a document, such as a copyright symbol. When a markup-aware processor encounters a numeric character reference, for example, <numcharref>225</numcharref>, it renders the reference as the Unicode character that it represents: a-acute.</p>
