		special characters, including CJK characters, can be treated like normal ones; not only the webpage, but also the edit box shows the character; in addition it is possible to use the multi-character codes; they are not automatically converted in the edit box.
		special characters that are not available in the limited character set are stored in the form of a multi-character code; there are usually two or three equivalent representations, e.g.
		Unavailable characters which are copied into the edit box are first displayed as the character, and automatically converted to their decimal codes on Preview or Save.

	Special Characters
		Special characters may need to be specially encoded on HTML forms.
		Three ASCII characters must always be encoded (unless they are part of an HTML tag or character entity, such as andquot;): less-than (<), greater-than (>) and ampersand (and).
		ISO Latin 1 characters characters (see below) should all be encoded, though some browsers may display some characters correctly without this.

	HTML codes for special characters and symbols
		On the first page, the characters and symbols are sorted alphabetically by their number code, so you can see that for your computer, the 'alphabet' starts with the space, followed by the exclamation mark, and so on.
		As these HTML codes for characters and symbols are based on the first 128 characters of the Unicode character set, known as the ISO Latin-1 character set, you'll have to define this character set in the section of your HTML document to override browsers with other character sets as their default settings.
		Of this second set of 128 characters, the first 32 (numbers 128-159) have no alternative names for their number code, while the next 96 (numbers 160-255) do provide you with alternative names to make it easier to remember them.

	Special Characters
		In using special characters, it is important to make sure that you have the correct character for a particular purpose.
		In cases such as this where there is a special character that looks similar to an ordinary keyboard character, the convention is to use the ordinary keyboard character as the alias for the special character.
		A related convention is that when a special character is used to represent an operator that can be typed using ordinary keyboard characters, those characters are used in the alias for the special character.

	ISO 8859-1 Latin 1 and Unicode characters in ampersand entities
		If the characters in the right column don't match their descriptions, then your browser is translating incorrectly between ISO 8859-1 Latin 1 and your platform's native character set.
		Some commonly-desired characters, such as the trademark symbol, as well as such typographical niceties as "curly" quotes, dashes, and ellipses, are not part of the ISO 8859-1 character set, and so cannot be displayed properly in HTML 2.0.
		Languages that use characters that are not included in the ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 character set cannot be dealt with properly using plain HTML 2.0 (which was described in RFC-1866).

	Special Characters in HTML: Cross-Platform Issues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Generally, any character can be inserted three different ways: by embedding the 8-bit code in the HTML file, by using a numeric character reference, or a named entity.
		Here the first row of 32 characters shows the result of using numeric references, while the second row shows the result of 8-bit characters inserted directly in the HTML file (The 8-bit codes are what you get when a PC user inserts the character using the Windows Character Map accessory).
		The solution is to consult a reference on the ISO Latin-1 character set, such as Martin Ramsch's page, and be careful to pick the character you want (e.g., the degree sign is character code 176, not 186).
