SPECIAL HTML CHARACTERS

SPECIAL HTML CHARACTERS
In order to include a copyright symbol, certain math equations, and other non-standard characters on your
Web page, you will need to include special characters in your HTML coding. To do this, you will use a table of
characters called the ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 Table (http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/charset/). You can
include the Latin-1 characters in your coding by either typing in a numeric character reference (") or an
entity reference (") when you write your HTML code.
For instance, a standard double quotation mark ( “ ) is defined as either " using numeric characters or
" using an entity reference. Either way, your visitors see a plain quotation mark.
Other handy special characters include:
•  Registered trademark: ® or ®

•  Copyright symbol: © or ©
• & Ampersand: & or &
• ° Degree sign: ° or °
• Non-breaking space:   or
