Usage
This template converses a numerical character reference into a named character reference. It converts a number to the named character reference for HTML, also often called a "character entity". The input number can be decimal or hexadecimal.
- produces: ,  
{{Numcr2namecr|A0}}
- produces: ,  
{{Numcr2namecr|160|base=dec}}
By default the numeric base is presumed to be hexadecimal. When the base is decimal, it needs to be specified using "|base=dec"
When the number has no related named character, an blank is presented. This message can be overruled:
- produces:
{{Numcr2namecr|61}}
- produces: Not named
{{Numcr2namecr|61|notfoundmsg=Not named}}
Parameters
- First parameter, unnamed,
|1=: Required. Numerical value in hex or decimal. Hexadecimal can have the prefix "0x". Input like   (expected output ) can not be processed. |base=: Required when|base=decimal, default|base=hex. When the input number (parameter 1) is decimal, the|base=must be defined through: "|base=dec", "|base=d", "|base=10".
- For clarity in code, the hex base may be defined as well: "
|base=hex", "|base=h", "|base=16". The base is also hexadecimal when the prefix "0x" is used with the number.
|notfoundmsg=: Optional message, default= (blank). Will be returned when the value does not have a named reference.- produces:
{{Numcr2namecr|61}}
- produces: Cannot find the name
{{Numcr2namecr|61|notfoundmsg=Cannot find the name}}
Technical notes
The template uses the module Module:Numcr2namecr, which contains a list of all 2032 character names (or 1446 unique characters). Hexadecimal-decimal calculations are performed by {{#invoke:BaseConvert|16to10}}.
