Characters [Robin’s HTML 4.0 Conformance Test]
Author: Lionheart, Robin
Description: Test your Web browser’s support for HTML 4.0 character entity references. Part of Robin’s HTML 4.0 Conformance Test.

# Characters (§24)

Color Key
HTML 1.0 entity
HTML 2.0 entities
HTML 4.0 entities in Adobe Symbol font
HTML 4.0 entities
XHTML 1.0 entities

These are the character entities from all of the HTML specifications.

HTML 4.0 defines many new character entities, primarily glyphs from the widely available Abobe font Symbol and punctuation from the Win1252 (Windows: Western) character set.

HTML 4.0 also introduces hexadecimal numeric entity references, and specifies that numeric entities be treated as Unicode glyphs, which includes just about every typographical character known to typesetters.

To test your Web browser’s support for the full range of Unicode characters, I recommend the test suite in Alan Wood’s Unicode Resources.

You may also view this table with MathML entities.
