For example, is character number 2343 in HTML the same as 2343 in Unicode? --Abdull 14:28, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

This page states that a numeric entity reference *always* refers to a unicode character code point. The w3c (http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html) states that a numeric entity reference is a code point in the document's character set. This appears to be a contradiction and this page appears to be wrong. If this page is in fact correct, then this page may want to explain why the document's character set is Unicode.
