Many "special" and foreign-language characters can be displayed on your web pages by use of the following HTML extended character syntax
The character string in the first column should be prefaced by an ampersand (&) and followed by a semicolon (;) to form the HTML code for the symbol or special character shown in the second column. The third column gives the description of the character or symbol.
