HTML Symbols

HTML lets you display hundreds of special symbols that are not on your keyboard — from mathematical operators and currency signs to arrows and geometric shapes.

How to Display Symbols

Symbols are displayed using HTML entity names or numeric codes:

<p>Copyright: &copy;</p>          <!-- Named entity -->
<p>Copyright: &#169;</p>          <!-- Decimal code -->
<p>Copyright: &#xA9;</p>          <!-- Hex code -->
