	A Simple Character Entity Chart
		A character entity reference is an SGML construct that references a character of the document character set.
		Display of glyphs for these characters may be obtained by being able to display the relevant [ISO10646] characters or by other means, such as internally mapping the listed entities, numeric character references, and characters to the appropriate position in some font that contains the requisite glyphs.
		The character entity references in this section are for escaping markup-significant characters (these are the same as those in HTML 2.0 and 3.2), for denoting spaces and dashes.

	HTML 4 Entities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Character entity references, or entities for short, provide a method of entering characters that cannot be expressed in the document's character encoding or that cannot easily be entered on a keyboard.
		While entities are limited to a subset of Unicode characters, numeric character references can specify any character.
		Numeric character references may be given in decimal or hexadecimal, though browser support is stronger for decimal references.

	Tutorial 17: Shady Characters - HTML with Style - Webreference.com
		Character entity references allow you to use a simple, memorable name instead of a number to refer to a character.
		The downside of character entity references is again twofold: First, some of the names of character entity references are not easy to remember or even decipher - who can figure out that "raquo" stands for "right-pointing double angle quotation mark" (or even know what that is).
		Since character entity references refer to characters in the document character set, it is generally better to use the actual character encoded in the document instead of using them, for the same reasons that numerical character references should be avoided.

		Character entity references use symbolic names so that authors need not remember code positions.
		For example, the character entity reference å refers to the lowercase "a" character topped with a ring; "å" is easier to remember than å.
		Some authors use the character entity reference """ to encode instances of the double quote mark (") since that character may be used to delimit attribute values.

	Adrian Roselli — A Simple Character Entity Chart
		I have granted evolt.org the right to use this article on their web site, and they are the only entity with the right to reproduce it.
		For those who use characters in their copy that don't normally appear on the keyboard, it's always been a hit-and-miss game of tracking down the ISO character entity and choosing between the named and numeric value.
		The W3C character entity reference is certainly definitive, but not practical.

	Character encodings in HTML : HTML character entity reference
		Considerable care must be exercised when creating HTML pages with special characters outside the range of normal ASCII to ensure two goals: the integrity of the information stored in the HTML document, and proper display of the document by the largest possible variety of browsers.
		In addition to native character encodings, characters can also be encoded as HTML entities, using the encoding format derived from the use of character entities in SGML.
		Decimal and hexadecimal HTML entities can also be used, based on the Unicode numeric code for the character encoded.

	HTML 4.01 Manual: HTML Document Representation
		As some character encodings cannot directly represent all characters an author may want to include in a document, HTML offers other mechanisms, called character references, for referring to any character.
		Character references within comments have no special meaning; they are comment data only.
		If missing characters are presented using their numeric representation, use the hexadecimal (not decimal) form since this is the form used in character set standards.

	HTML Document Representation
		The document character set, however, does not suffice to allow user agents to correctly interpret HTML documents as they are typically exchanged -- encoded as a sequence of bytes in a file or during a network transmission.
		The "charset" parameter identifies a character encoding, which is a method of converting a sequence of bytes into a sequence of characters.
		A user agent may not be able to render all characters in a document meaningfully, for instance, because the user agent lacks a suitable font, a character has a value that may not be expressed in the user agent's internal character encoding, etc.

	Character entity reference - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the markup languages SGML, HTML, XHTML and XML, a character entity reference is a reference to a particular kind of named entity that has been predefined or explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD).
		The replacement text of the entity consists of a single character from the Universal Character Set/Unicode.
		The purpose of a character entity reference is to provide a way to refer to a character that is not universally encodable.

	Special Characters in HTML
		Entity references are similar, but use symbolic names to represent the characters.
		Note that not all the valid characters have corresponding entity references.
		The ISO data table document lists all the ISO Latin-1 characters, alongside their numerical positions in the character set (both decimal -- used by HTML character references, and hexadecimal -- used by URL character encodings) and the corresponding entity reference, if defined.

		Character Entities References are the way you put special letters, numbers and symbols on the web page.
		Alternately, for some characters you can put ampersand, the name of the character (but no # sign), followed by a semi-colon.
		Forgetting to use the # sign for numeric references and putting the names in the wrong case, names are case sensitive and most of them are in lower-case.

		In contrast, a character entity reference refers to a character by the name of an entity which has the desired character as its replacement text.
		The entities can be explicitly declared in a DTD, as well, but if this is done, the replacement text must be the same as the built-in definitions.
		If the document is read by an XML parser that does read external entities, then the five built-in XML character entities can safely be used.

		For example, using a control character in the range from 0 to 31 (except for tab, newline and carriage return) either directly or with a numeric character reference results in a well-formedness error.
		Character entity references can be used in HTML and in XML; but for XML, other than the 5 predefined entities, need to be defined in a DTD (such as with XHTML and MathML).
		It is recommended that you stick with the 5 predefined entity references and numeric character references, or use a Unicode encoding.

		In this case, a general entity is declared that refers to a small text file with address information which is referenced in a large number of EAD encoded guides.
		The character code sets in use in the mid-1980s, when SGML was finalized, were relatively small, and the SGML Declaration provided a mechanism for selecting different document character sets.
		Of course, getting these special character names to display properly is a local character set problem, and so the task of the SGML character entity sets is to map the standard character names to something locally useful.
