If this method returns true, the character entity name and description are returned in the output parameters name and description, respectively.

The following code fragment shows an example of the findCharacterEntityByNumber method and its parameters.

    write system.findCharacterEntityByNumber(174,ent,desc);  // "true"
    write ent;                                               // "reg"
