Unless you can find a third-party API to handle this for you, you will likely have to code it yourself manually:

  1. Convert the input string data to codepoint values (ie, to UTF-32).

  2. For each codepoint value:

    a. if it is in the ASCII visual range (U+0009, U+000A, U+000D, and U+0020 through U+007E), store/display the value as-is as an 8bit ASCII character.

    b. otherwise, check if there is an available entity name associated with the codepoint (see this, this, this and this) and if so then store/display that name in &name; format.

    c. otherwise, store/display the codepoint value in &#XXXX; format, where XXXX is the numeric value of the codepoint.
