Tips & Warnings

  • For more symbols, read 'eHow to Find Symbol Codes for a Web Page.'
  • All symbols have a numeric code, while some entities have both a text code and numeric code. For example, the copyright symbol can be either entered as >©> or >©>.
  • All entities begin with an ampersand (&) and end with a semi-colon (;).
  • Numeric entity codes always begin with an ampersand and a numeric pound (#) symbol.
  • Do not put HTML tags in front of or behind the codes.
  • Some older browsers will not recognize character entities. Viewers will simply see the code text.
