E. Character Entities

The following table collects the defined standard, proposed, and several nonstandard, but generally supported, character entities for HTML.

Entity names, if defined, appear for their respective characters and can be used in the HTML

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 an HTML 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 standard, use only those named character entities whose conformance column is blank. Characters whose conformance column contains "!!!" are not formally defined by the HTML standard; use them at your own risk.
