See Named HTML Character References for more information about character entity references and how they are used. This page simply provides an alphabetized list of all available such references in HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.1.
NOTE: To see these in a different font, append "?font=Font Name" to the URL for this page and reload it. For example, enter
http://awcolley.com/WebsiteDev/HTMLNamedCharAlpha?font=Times New Roman
to see these characters displayed using the Times New Roman font.
NOTE: The “Displayed” column shows the symbol slightly larger than normal, to make it a little easier to see here. Also, it is displayed with a yellow background, so you can see how wide it is (especially for spaces).
These entities are also viewable in numeric order.
