HTML Entities

HTML entities refer to characters or tokens that are identified as part of HTML code. HTML code is typically interpreted by a web browser. The resulting web page one ultimately sees is the result of HTML code and content within the code being parsed and then displayed according to sets of rules. HTML entities are just a small subset of a larger set of character available, the use of a single HTML entity does not constitute HTML, only a set of these tokens following given patterns are parsed and then displayed as a web page.

Special Characters

Special characters can be seen at characters that one does not find on their keyboard. These can include symbols that may be useful, but not commonly used. Special Characters can be decorative in nature or they can hold special meaning under a number of circumstances.

Using HTML Entities and Special Characters

There are many reasons that one would have the need to use HTML entities and special characters on the web. Using HTML entities outside the context of page markup is sometimes necessary and useful to express a concept. When one is in need of using a special character one has the ability to insert the special characters via various means, it is not always wise to make a direct insertion.

This brings us to the purpose of this pages, listed below is a table of HTML entities and special characters that you can use on the web. This list includes some items that may already be available direct input. The list also includes a mapping to the numerical representation of the character.

Using The Decimal, Hexadecimal and Entity Name codes

Accompanying each character you can find a decimal and hexadecimal representation of each character. In addition to these numerical representations there are some characters that have a case sensitive HTML entity name tied to them. To use these representations make sure to use the following formats;
Hexadecimal: &xHH; where HH is the hexadecimal number
Decimal: where NN is the two or three digit decimal number
Name: &name; where name is the assigned name of the given entity.
