Special Characters in HTML

HTML allows special character entities to represent these special characters. These entities are indicated by three parts: a leading ampersand (&), a number or string corresponding to the character you wish, and a terminating semicolon (;). Here is a list of these special characters, and their renderings: not all browsers support all these characters -- this is a good test page for determining what is, and what is not, supported by yours.
