FYI you can also get a character by its name:
>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.name(chr(1040))
'CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A'
>>> "\N{CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER A}"
'А'

Both of those show hex first, and decimal as an additional feature.

The Unicode Consortium reference entirely lacks decimal values in all their
tables. EVERYTHING is given solely in hex. I'm sure someone somewhere had
created a table with decimal values, but it's very rare.
We should not change Python syntax because exactly one user prefers decimal
representations

Ok if it is aligned intentionally on binary grid obviously
hex numbers will show some patterns, but who argues?
