Popular HTML Escape Codes
Posted: 12/29/2007 by Serge IlynBeing tired of looking up every time escape codes for frequently used symbols, here is a table of some of them most needed. If you use HTML, sooner or later you will find it useful. Keep in mind that it's also possible to use entity codes: for example, © is the same as © - will show copyright symbol (©); € is the same as € - will show euro symbol (€); £ - £. Next time I will add them to the table.
