in size, that declares 13789 entities with canonical names.

use strict;

while (<STDIN>)
{
     my @fields = split(/;/, $_);
     my $cpoint = $fields[0];
     $cpoint =~ s/^0*//;
     my $name = $fields[1];
     next unless $name;
     next if ($name =~ /</);
     $name =~ s/ /_/g;
     print "<!ENTITY $name '&#x$cpoint;'>\n";
