HTML Clinic: Special Characters

 
You can easily add special characters to your Web page such as an ampersand
(&), less-than sign (<) and copyright (©) symbol. The trick to getting
the symbol to appear when viewed through a Web browser is, as with all things
HTML, all in the tag you typed.
 
The most important thing to remember about tagging for special characters
is that unlike standard HTML tags that you have learned about during previous

ending with </H1>), special characters do not have traditional ending
tags. When typing special characters, the code for the symbol appears between an
ampersand (&) and a semicolon (;).
