Greek
and Symbolic Characters |
It is occasionally
necessary to include special or unusual characters in the text of a
web page. These are represented by three-part symbols which are included
in the text:
ampersand
+ character-code + semi-colon
eg ¢ gives a cent symbol
¢
The codes for a
large range of characters are listed below for your reference. The character
codes are represented in both text and numeric form. We have found that
most but not all work in a browser. Test a character before building
your lifes' work on it..
