Following on from my last post on using ‘entities’ in your html to display special characters, here are a few that you may find useful – symbols that you may wish to use but are not on your keyboard:
| Name | Symbol | Enter this into html area |
| Copyright symbol | (©) | © |
| Trademark | ® | ® |
| Half | ½ | ½ |
| Quarter | ¼ | ¼ |
| Three Quarters | ¼ | ¾ |
| Curly Quotes | “ | “ |
| Curly Quotes | ” | ” |
| Bullet | • | • |
| Right Arrow | ? | → |
| Left Arrow | ? | ← |
| At | @ | @ |
| Heart | ? | ♥ |
If you look at the heart above, you will see that these symbols can be formatted just like any other text.
I will create a chart containing more symbols and their entity numbers soon.
