Your example describes it differently:

On page 3 [1] it shows the glyph in the line 2200 at fifth position out 
of 16.

Therefore it is Unicode 2204, as the columns stand for the last position 
in the four digit code.

But the line above is 21F0 - and the last 6 columns in each line stand 
for the fourth position of the code as A to F.

These numbers can't be decimal - they are hexadecimal. Nobody would try 
to convert let's say 220A (just 5 characters behind 2204), the small 
epsilon sign, to Hex again.

By the way, the small number above the sign is the decimal number.

I don't know if this helps at all, I just wanted to tell...

Best regards
