HTML Special Characters - Character Entities
There are certain symbols or characters that you might want to enter in a webpage,
such as © or ¢ that you will not find keys for on your keyboard. There are
other characters that you should not enter in your webpage text because, under certain
circumstances, they can be misinterpreted as code. Instead of entering one of these
characters in your webpage, enter its character entity. A character entity is a group
or characters thet begins with an ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon (;). Below
is a list of the most commonly used character entities.
