Put the three-digit decimal number at the left of any cell of the table in place of the question mark in "&#?;" to display the character at the right of that cell. To get the paragraph symbol (¶) in cell B6, put "¶" into your page at the desired point. Don't include the quotes and don't forget the semicolon at the end.
If your screen or window is small, the table may display rather badly. You may wish to see only the left half, only the right half, or a table of the Greek Letter Codes.
Select or mouse-over any three-digit number to see a description of the character displayed for that number and, if applicable, the entity reference that you could use for the character.
Cells shown above in light green color (the left two columns and the 7F
cell) are control codes not used for displaying characters.
Those shown with a white background (the third through eighth
columns) are standard characters and are normally typed as-is
rather than being encoded. Only the character codings in
cells with yellow backgrounds
(the right eight columns) are actually usefull. The deep-yellow
cells (columns 8 and 9) are not part of the standard character set
and will display differently on different browsers. They are
included here so that you may see what is displayed on yours.
The column and row labels give the hexadecimal encodings of the
cells. This is not important for using this table, but may
be of use to you for decimal/hex conversions.
