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.
