HTML Characters, Entities and Symbols

Here you will find the characters, entities and symbols you are most likely to need in HTML, with every way to write them. You can type a character directly if your page is saved as UTF-8, or use a code: a named entity such as ®, a decimal code such as ® or a hex code such as ®. For CSS, each character also has the escape to use with the content property, such as content: "\00AE";.

HTML5 defines over 2,000 named entities, and Unicode has well over 150,000 characters. Use the search below to look up any of them, or visit CharacterCodes.net for the full Unicode list.

Entity names are case-sensitive: Á is Á and á is á.
