Special Characters

Last update on: 05-18-2008
Some special characters don't come from the set of extended ASCII characters. For example, quotation marks and ampersands can be presented on a page using character entities even though they're found within the standard ASCII character set. These characters have a special meaning in HTML documents within certain contexts, so they can be represented with character entities in order to avoid confusing the web browsers. Modern browsers generally don't have a problem with these characters, but it's not a bad idea to use the entities anyway.

These are some Characters with its code in HTML

For example if we want to display and HTML code that doesn't have any effect in our webpage like we did for displaying all the examples:
For example if we want to display this tag <html> this what we have to type in our html code:

We gave you here just a basic tag as an example we will cover this when we will start using the coding and designing with dreamweaver.
