HTML Entities Reference: Symbols, Arrows & Special Characters
HTML entities let you display characters that would otherwise be interpreted as markup (like <) or that are hard to type (symbols, arrows, accented letters). Each has a named form (©) and a numeric form (©); both render the same character. Search and copy whichever you need.
