A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name. A numeric character reference uses the format &#nnnn; or &#xhhhh; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form, and hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form.
In fiction, a character is a person or other being in a narrative (such as a novel, play, radio or television series, music, film, or video game). [1] [2] [3] The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person, in which case the distinction of a "fictional" versus "real" character may be made. [2]
A character is a semiotic sign, symbol, grapheme, or glyph – typically a letter, a numerical digit, an ideogram, a hieroglyph, a punctuation mark or another typographic mark. History [ edit ]
The base form consists of a sequence of an opening round parenthesis, a character for the left eye, a character for the mouth or nose, a character for the right eye and a closing round parenthesis. The parentheses are often omitted for well-known kaomoji. The mouth/nose part may also be omitted if the eyes are much more important.

Though he is normally calm, collected and intelligent, he can be irrational when angered.
