There are a lot of symbols that are not present on a standard keyboard (mathematical, technical, currency symbols, etc.). Also, there are symbols, which cannot be used because they can cause confusion. For example, we cannot use (>) greater than because in\u00a0HTML\u00a0this symbol stands for a tag, and the browser won\u2019t show it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In HTML, the entities display reserved characters, which can be confused with HTML code or invisible characters, like non-breaking spaces. Also, characters that are difficult or impossible to type with a keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use an HTML entity name to add such symbols to an HTML page. If an entity name does not exist, you can use a decimal, hexadecimal reference, or entity number. An entity name is easy to remember. But these names may not be supported by browsers. However, the support for numbers is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An HTML entity begins with an ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-breaking Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The non-breaking space (&nbsp;) is one of the most common character entities used in HTML. It is a space that doesn\u2019t break into a new line. This means, that two words that are divided by a non-breaking space will stay together. Besides, the non-breaking space stops browsers from truncating spaces in HTML pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diacritical Marks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we say a diacritical mark, we mean a \u201cglyph\u201d that is added to a letter. Some of these marks, like grave ( \u0300) and acute ( \u0301) are called accents. Diacritical marks may occur above and below a letter, between two letters or inside a letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a list containing some diacritical marks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
