Displaying characters which are part of HTML element tags requires special codes called character entities. There are a few which have default names in HTML, the remainder are referenced by numbers as defined in the ISO-Latin-1 character set.
The common character entities used are:
| Entity | Description | Character |
|---|---|---|
| " | double quotations | " |
| & | ampersand | & |
| | non-breaking space | |
| © | copyright | © |
| ® | registered trademark | ® |
| < | less than | < |
| > | greater than | > |
