HTML help - Special CharactersThe keyboard contains only alphabet, numbers and some punctuation marks. What if you wanted to include a © symbol on your pages like I have (scroll down this page, and you shall find this symbol). Such symbols are special characters called Character Entities, which can be displayed in HTML pages using a certain notation. This notation can be of two types:
Thus, the copyright sign can be displayed by © or © Here are a few common characters which you might need for your pages: I had mentioned at the beginning that HTML is case insensitive and so, it doesn't make a difference if you write <FONT>, <font>, <Font> or <FoNt> (... hope you get the general idea!). Character entities, however, are case sensitive- will work but &NBSP; won't. Try it out yourself.
