HTML special character reference

You may not be able to enter certain symbols or characters into your web page using a single key or character. The following HTML 4 character reference table can be used to enter such special characters using the associated "numeric character reference" code or the "character entity reference" code. Note that not all characters are supported by every browser. Some browsers may support the numeric reference without supporting the character entity reference.

 

Numeric character reference ("ID" column in the table) is the numeric representation of a given character. To use the numeric character reference in your HTML code, use the following format:

&#Numeric character reference;

 

For example, to display the © symbol using the numeric character reference, enter:

 

©

 

Character entity reference ("Code" column in the table) is the standard name of a given character. To use the character entity reference in your HTML code, use the following format instead:

&Character entity reference;

 

For example, to display the © symbol using the character entity reference:

 

©
