Appendix F. Character Entities
The following table lists the defined
standard and proposed character entities for HTML and XHTML, as well
as several that are nonstandard but generally supported.
Entity names, if defined, appear for their respective characters and
can be used in the character-entity sequence
&name; to define any character for display by
the browser. Otherwise, or alternatively for named characters, use
the character's three-digit numeral value in the
sequence &#nnn; to specially define a
character entity. Actual characters, however, may or may not be
displayed by the browser, depending on the computer platform and
user-selected font for display.
Not all 256 characters in the ISO character set appear in the table.
Missing ones are not recognized by the browser as either named or
numeric entities.
To be sure that your documents are fully compliant with the HTML 4.0
and XHTML 1.0 standards, use only those named character entities with
no entries in the conformance column. Characters with a value of
"!!!" in the conformance column are
not formally defined by the standards; use them at your own risk.
