Special Characters

In HTML, <, > and & are special characters. So, to use them on Web pages, you need to use special codes:

&	&
&lt;	<
&gt;	>

Also, there are 96 extra characters you can add, in a platform-independent way. They are listed below.

Example:
¿Donde están José y Maria?
This renders as:
¿Donde están José y Maria?

Note that only the numbers 160-255 are valid, and that you must include the ending semi-colon (;).

The table is a graphic, because some browsers don't get the characters exactly right. It was done on a Windows machine using the font "Times New Roman." Your results may vary.
