XHTML Character Entity Reference
This page contains the 252 allowed entities in HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0, as outlined in section 24 of the official HTML 4 specifications, published by the W3C. If you're new to this site, you can find help on how to use this reference.
Each entity is contained within a small box that contains four lines.
The first line shows how the entity will be displayed on your webpage.
The second line contains the entity reference, in the form &entity_name; (i.e. an ampersand, the entity name, and then a semi colon).
This is the code that you should place in your webpage. If you move your mouse over a character entity, a third and fourth line will appear. The third line contains the numerical reference for the same character.
Finally the fourth line contains the unicode representation of the entity.
To view the textual description for an entity (i.e. it's real name), simply rest your mouse over the box to reveal a tooltip that displays the name, or click on the link below labeled Show Entity Descriptions
The entities have been divided and color coded into the following logical categories for the purpose of orgainization. Click on a box to filter the entites by their category.

- Mathematical Operators
