There's not much to it. Say you want to use "character id" to refer
to a Euro sign (although that's not a great example since it's easy to
type a Euro on a Mac, but run with it). That's Unicode scalar value
U+20AC. So go to Google - or your browser's search field, if your
provider is Google - and type
0x20ac in decimal
and submit. The top of the results page will be from Google Calculator:
0x20ac = 8364
so character id 8364 is a Euro sign.
