HTML Symbols and Entities

Some symbols and special characters are not available directly on your keyboard. In HTML, these characters can be added using entities.

An entity can be written in three ways:

  • By entity name

  • By decimal number

  • By hexadecimal number


Displaying the Euro Symbol


Example

<p> I will display € </p>
<p> I will display € </p>
<p> I will display € </p>

All three methods will display:

€
