Character entity references in HTML
The HTML 5 DTDs define many named entities, references to which act as mnemonic aliases for certain Unicode characters. The HTML 5 specification requires the use of the standard DTDs and does not allow users to define additional entities.

In the table below, the "Standard" column indicates the first version of the HTML DTD that defines the character entity reference. To use one of these character entity references in an HTML or XML document, enter an ampersand followed by the entity name and a semicolon, e.g., enter  for the copyright symbol (©).

Alternatively, enter an ampersand, followed by a number sign, a number and a semicolon. For example, to display the copyright symbol ©, enter  (When using this method, use the parenthesized decimal numbers in the third column.) Equivalently, you can enter an ampersand, followed by a number sign, the letter x, a hexadecimal number and a semicolon. For example, to display the copyright symbol © enter  or   (When using this method, use the hexadecimal numbers in the third column, without the prefix  .)
