List of Entities

Entity Table - Based on ISO 8859-1 plus all other numbers to 255

Note: This list of entities (characters) started with a listing of the 255 characters of the extended ASCII character set. It has since been expanded to include the entities in the HTML 4.0 specification.

This listing (above) was created by listing all possible codes in numerical order and displaying them in Netscape 2.01. Subsequently, a listing of names for the characters was added when it was found and most recently (HTML 4.0) new characters have been added. Not all characters may display in all browsers.

HTML 4.0

The following has been excerpted from the HTML 4.0 specification. Their copyright is included for your reference:

""
The named character entities in this section produce characters that may be represented by glyphs in the widely available Adobe Symbol font, including Greek characters, various bracketing symbols, and a selection of mathematical operators such as gradient, product, and summation symbols.
To support these entities, user agents may support full ISO10646 or use other means. Display of glyphs for these characters may be obtained by being able to display the relevant ISO10646 characters or by other means, such as internally mapping the listed entities, numeric character references, and characters to the appropriate position in some font that contains the requisite glyphs.
When to use Greek entities. This entity set contains all the letters used in modern Greek. However, it does not include Greek punctuation, precomposed accented characters nor the non-spacing accents (tonos, dialytika) required to compose them. There are no archaic letters, Coptic-unique letters, or precomposed letters for Polytonic Greek. The entities defined here are not intended for the representation of modern Greek text and would not be an efficient representation; rather, they are intended for occasional Greek letters used in technical and mathematical works.
Mathematical, Greek and Symbolic characters for HTML

Relevant ISO entity set is given unless names are newly introduced. New names (i.e., not in ISO 8879 list) do not clash with any existing ISO 8879 entity names... {decimal code} values are decimal conversions of the ISO 10646 values and refer to the document character set. Names are Unicode 2.0 names.

"Named entities for markup-significant and internationalization characters

The named character entities in this section are for escaping markup-significant characters (these are the same as those in HTML 2.0 and 3.2), for denoting spaces and dashes. Other characters in this section apply to internationalization issues such as the disambiguation of bidirectional text.
Entities have also been added for the remaining characters occuring in CP-1252 which do not occur in the HTMLlat1 or HTMLsymbol entity sets. These all occur in the 128 to 159 range within the cp-1252 charset. These entities permit the characters to be denoted in a platform-independent manner.
To support these entities, user agents may support full ISO10646 or use other means. Display of glyphs for these characters may be obtained by being able to display the relevant ISO10646 characters or by other means, such as internally mapping the listed entities, numeric character references, and characters to the appropriate position in some font that contains the requisite glyphs."
