No, the HTML spec calls these (  et al.) "numeric character
references". A "character entity reference" is etc. - a general
entity reference that resolves to a single character.
As others have noted, though, this table can be misleading; for instance,
the column labeled "OCR A" displays in Georgia in my browser. You can't
control the appearance on someone else's screen. Just adding a note would
be helpful.
