* "Hex" and "Decimal" columns

** The codepoint number, in both [[decimal]] (base ten) and [[hexadecimal]] (base 16) formats

** Syntax is omitted (e.g.,The “<code>U+</code>”, “<code>&u</code>”prefix is used for hex, “<code>0x</code>”,per the Unicode etc.)standard

** Decimal is not prefixed, per [[WP:MOSNUM]]

** Such syntax is specific to the usage (Unicode specification, HTML, Perl, etc.); it is not a universal form. By omitting it, anyone can copy-and-paste the actual value, and add whatever syntax they need (or none at all).

** Such prefixes also prevent table columns from sorting properly

* The plan is to eventually add some kind of standard explanation of the columns to the tables, most likely as an adjacent template, or maybe links from the headers. Ideas welcome!
