I suggest you read the docstring for `read-char-by-name' more
carefully:
Accept a name like "CIRCULATION FUNCTION", a hexadecimal
number like "2A10", or a number in hash notation (e.g.,
"#x2a10" for hex, "10r10768" for decimal, or "#o25020" for
octal). Treat otherwise-ambiguous strings like "BED" (U+1F6CF)
as names, not numbers.
