HTML Symbols

HTML Symbol Entities

HTML symbols are those that are not present on standard keyboards, such as math operators, arrow symbols, technical symbols, and shapes.

To add these symbols to an HTML page, you can use HTML entity names.

If an entity name does not exist, you can use the entity number.

If the character has no entity name, you can use a decimal (or hexadecimal) reference.

Note If you use an HTML entity name or a hexadecimal number, the character will always display correctly.
This is independent of the character set used by your page!

Examples

<p>I will display &euro;</p>
<p>I will display &#8364;</p>
<p>I will display &#x20AC;</p>

The result is as follows:

I will display €
I will display €
I will display €
