Special HTML Characters

Special HTML Characters
ISO8859-1.

For compatibility amoung browsers use the numeric codes.

Do you know you can create characters not found on the normal keyboard using an & and a ; with a small command between them. You can also do the same using &# and a ; with a command in between them. These are called ASCII commands.
What are listed below are the ASCII commands that produce certain characters not readily found on the keyboard. (some are though, just to keep the flow of the numbers)
There are ASCII commands for all the charaters found on the keyboard.

Numbers 33 through 47, 58 through 64, 91 through 96, and 123 through 126 are the non-letter and non-numerical charatcters on the keyboard.
Numbers 48 through 57 are the numerals zero through nine.
Numbers 65 through 90 are the capital letters A through Z.
Numbers 97 through 122 are the lower case letters a through z.
127 is the delete key entry.
128 through 159 are not in use (but ;-) there are some examples below)
160 is the space bar.
