  Character entity references in HTML 4
A character entity reference is an SGML construct that references a character of the document character set.
The entities defined here are not intended for the representation of modern Greek text and would not be an efficient representation; rather, they are intended for occasional Greek letters used in technical and mathematical works.
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 3.2 Reference Specification
HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of applications.
HTML 3.2 aims to capture recommended practice as of early '96 and as such to be used as a replacement for HTML 2.0 (RFC 1866).
HTML 3.2 includes a widely deployed subset of the specification given in RFC 1942 and can be used to markup tabular material or for layout purposes.

 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.
It offers no display of how these entities might be rendered, leaving you to copy and paste based on descriptions until you find the right one.
To support these named entities, user agents need only recognize the entity names and convert them to characters that lie within the repertoire of [ISO88591].

 More about Text in HTML
ISO 8859 is a set of 10 different 256-character sets used to represent a large set of the alphabetic languages used in the West.
A special syntax is used to represent these Character Entities using either a number reference or a shorthand mnemonicword.
The quotation mark ('andquot;') character entity was retracted from HTML 3.2 (it exists in HTML 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 though.) Safest use of this character is its numbered version.

 HTML Character Entities
The named character entities in this section produce characters that may be represented by glyphs in the widely available Adobe Symbol font, including Greek characters, various bracketing symbols, and a selection of mathematical operators such as gradient, product, and summation symbols.
The named character entities 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.
Entities have also been added for the remaining characters occuring in CP-1252 which do not occur in the HTML symbol entity sets.

 Parsing Example
HTML documents are SGML documents with generic semantics that are appropriate for representing information from a wide range of domains.
HTML user agents should be able to preserve all formatting distinctions represented in an HTML document, and be able to simultaneously present resources referred to by IMG elements (they may ignore some formatting distinctions or IMG resources at the request of the user).
In practice, HTML documents are frequently represented and transmitted using an end of line convention that depends on the conventions of the source of the document; frequently, that representation consists of CR only, LF only, or a CR LF sequence.

 HTML Ref » Reference » Appendix C » Standard Character Entities
HTML uses a set of character entity codes in order to display these special characters.
Note that the named entity suggests the intended rendering of the character (a capital E with an umlaut), which provides a handy mnemonic device for dedicated HTML coders.
The entity 5 represents the numeral five, while A represents "A." Character entities become more practical when it is necessary to employ characters used in foreign languages or special characters.

Symbolic references are also sometimes referred to as entity references, and numeric references may also be called decimal references.

Lynx versions 2.7.1ac-0.87 and later now support all of the numeric entities in the table above, as well as all of the entities in the first non-Western European table below (translating as best it can within the limitations of the character set which happens to be in use during a particular terminal session).

The original version of this table was created by editing and adding to a table I found at HTML Character Entities.
Well, that didn't work out, mainly because XML won't support non-standard HTML entities, and when I tried to get the non-standard entities to build themselves in the XSL stylesheet instead, that didn't work either.
The result of all that experimentation was, however, that I recreated the underlying HTML table code from scratch.

The < and > are one example of such "special character entities" that require special HTML code in order to be displayed on a webpage.
