HTML symbols

Here's a tutorial on HTML symbols:

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) symbols, also known as character entities, are special characters that can be used in HTML code. Symbols are used to display non-standard characters, such as currency symbols, mathematical symbols, and special characters, that cannot be displayed using standard ASCII characters.

HTML symbols are represented using an ampersand (&) followed by a symbol name or code, and then a semicolon (;). Here are some common HTML symbols:

  • Currency symbols Currency symbols, such as the dollar sign ($) and the euro sign (€), can be represented using HTML symbols. Here are some examples:
$ = $
€ = €
  • Mathematical symbols Mathematical symbols, such as the plus sign (+) and the greater-than sign (>), can be represented using HTML symbols. Here are some examples:
+ = +
> = >

© = ©
