Special Characters

9/30/99

Within HTML code, to define special characters, such as a dollar sign, math symbols and other needed items, special HTML-Escape sequences or symbols names must be used. The chart below shows the special characters, their HTML-Escape sequences, and names. Some characters do not have names and thus to use them requires entering their HTML-escape sequence, which matches their ASCII-code equivelant.
