<numcharref>

Use the <numcharref> element to identify mentions of XML numeric character references, for example, "&#10;" or "&#x0a;". This element enables more precise semantic searching of the DITA source; it also enables distinct output formatting. The content of the <numcharref> element should be the numeric value without any leading or trailing characters added as style, for example, "10" or "x0a". This element is part of the XML mention domain.

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>
