HTML Symbols
Characters that are not present on your keyboard can also be replaced by entities.
HTML Symbol Entities
HTML entities were described in the previous chapter.
Many mathematical, technical, and currency symbols, are not present on a normal keyboard.
To add such symbols to an HTML page, you can use an HTML entity name.
If no entity name exists, you can use an entity number, a decimal, or hexadecimal reference.
Example
<p>I will display €</p>
<p>I will display €</p>
<p>I will display €</p>
Will display as:
I will display €
I will display €
I will display €
Try it Yourself »
I will display €
I will display €
