Appendix D The First 256 Character Entities

The following is a list of the first 256 character entities. Many letters and symbols commonly used in most western languages (like English) can be found here. A sample HTML file on the CD in AppndxD\appd.htm demonstrates all of these entities. A more complete list of character entities can be found in the SBN Workshop on the companion CD at Workshop (References); DHTML, HTML, & CSS; HTML References; Character Sets. Note that a few of the characters will display differently in different fonts or on different operating systems.

NOTE
The indexes from  through &#159 are officially "reserved" characters and are undefined. However, both Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer display them as shown below.
