Description

Character Entities References are the way you put special letters, numbers and symbols on the web page.

A character entity reference consists of an ampersand (&), followed by a hash sign (#), the number of the character entity, and finishing with a semi-colon (;). Alternately, for some characters you can put ampersand, the name of the character (but no # sign), followed by a semi-colon.

Example

To produce the copyright symbol:

&#169;

or (because the copyright symbol has a name):

&copy;
