Something is definitely weird in this page.
They suggests to use shift-JIS codes for numerical character references, but
such a thing is not allowed by the current definition of HTML: NCR's
unambiguously and exclusively represent Unicode/ISO-10646 code points,
regardless of the character set used in the page.
How can such a thing work?
For instance, inserting the sequence "說" in an HTML file does *not*
insert the JIS character 0xF9A1 (a user code assigned to icon meaning
"angry"), but rather the Unicode character U+F9A1 (CJK COMPATIBILITY
IDEOGRAPH-F9A1, canonically equivalent to U+8AAA).
BTW, Ironically, U+F9A1 (as well as U+8AAA) means "to SCOLD, to UPBRAID",
which is what ANGRY people do all the time... :-)
