 Guide to Learning HTML - Quick Reference - Special Characters
Speacial Characters
Certain characters, such as the left bracket (<), ampersand (&), etc. are reserved by HTML to represent special attributes such as the start of HTML elements, graphic characters, and so on. In addition there are many ISO-Latin 1 characters that you may wish to include in a document, but which are not trivially available on a standard keyboard.
HTML allows special referencing to represent these special characters. These are indicated by either character references or entity references.

The table below is a reference for the HTML Document Character Set. It is also known as the standard ISO-8859-1.
