Template:Numcr2namecr/listbydec/doc

Usage

The template is used as a subtemplate by {{numcr2namecr}}. This template contains the list of 2032 character names (or 1446 unique characters), by their decimal number. The call is like (example input 0xA0 added):

• {{Numcr2namecr/listbydec|{{hex2dec|{{{1|0xA0}}}}}|{{{notfoundmsg|}}} }} -->  ,  

It is not intended or tested for direct use in an article.

When a named reference is not found, a blank is returned. This return value can be set by the user into relevant text by using notfoundmsg=.

Technical notes

The list takes the decimal value as input, so it can perform calculated comparisons to speed things up (see below).

The list of 257 numbers & names is spliced in three, so as to save some resources. First items below 160, then the continuous block 160-255 (0xA0-0xFF), then the other more scattered numbers are in another block. The split is made by an expression, which is why decimal numbers are used since hexadecimal calculations are not available.
