Certain symbols and accented letters should be specified within your HTML
files using the coded form &#number; or &name; (always begin with
an ampersand and end with a semicolon). The table below includes samples for
each symbol using both forms so you can see how your Web browser interprets
them. The number form is more universally accepted by browsers.
