HTML Accent Entity Codes http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/web/codehtml.html Teaching and Learning with Technology HOME BY LANGUAGE BASICS ACCENTS WEB DEVEL GLOSSARY SITE MAP LOCATION: Web Developers : HTML Special Entity Codes HTML - Special Entity Codes This Web page contains lists of common special entity codes needed in HTML to generate special characters such as ñ, ¢, ÷ and other characters. Full instructions are in the "Using the Codes" section followed by lists organized by character type. Information on NOTE: If you are composing Web pages in an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver or Microsoft Web Expression the programs may generate the characters based on what is typed in (check the HTML to be sure).

Links to Other References Caution on Smart Quotes and Long Dashes “Smart (curly) quotes” (vs. "plain (straight) quotes") and long dashes such as em dash (—) and en dash (–) are actually considered "special characters" in HTML. If you are using a Word file with these symbols, you may need to remove them or replace them with entity characters. Plain quotes and short dashes are always OK. Letters with Accents This list is organized by Accent type. If a value is missing in the chart, then see the Expanded Unicode Accents code page. To determine the appropriate code, match the accent with the vowel. The general template for each accent is in the left column in blue. For instance&Vcirc; means that all the entity codes for vowels with circumflex accents contain "circ" as part of the code. NOTE: Numbers in parentheses refer to the numeric position of the character in the Unicode encoding scheme. 1 of 9 02/25/2015 05:03 PM HTML Accent Entity Codes http://symbolcodes.tlt.psu.edu/web/codehtml.html Example 1: To input the lower case circumflex â in HTML, type in â or â Example 2: To input the capital circumflex  in HTML, type in  or  Exampe 3: To input lower case circumflex ô in HTML, type in ô or ô Entity Codes for Accented Vowels by Accent Type Accent Grave &Vgrave; (Cap) A E I O U À È Ì Ò Ù À È Ì Ò Ù (192) (200) (204) (210) (217) à Grave (Lower) Acute &Vacute; (Cap) Circumflex &Vcirc; (Cap) Circumflex (Lower) Tilde &Vtilde; (Cap) ì ò Á É Í Ó -- ù à è ì ò ù (224) (232) (236) (242) (249) Ú -- Ý Á É Í Ó Ú Ý (193) (201) (205) (211) (218) (221) á Acute (Lower) è Y é í ó ú ý á é í ó ú ý (225) (233) (237) (243) (250) (253) Â Ê Î Ô Û Â (194) Ê (202) Î (206) Ô (212) Û (219) -- â ê î ô û â (226) ê (234) î (238) ô (244) û (251) -- Ñ Õ -- Ñ (209) Õ (213) -- -- à à (195) ñ õ Tilde (Lower) ã (227) ã -- ñ (241) õ (245) -- -- Umlaut &Vuml; Ä Ë Ï Ö Ü Ä (196) Ë (203) Ï (207) Ö (214) Ü (220) Ÿ1 (Cap) Umlaut (Lower) Ÿ (159) ä ë ï ö ü ÿ ä (228) ë (235) ï (239) ö (246) ü (252) ÿ (255) 1: The code Ÿ is not supported in older browsers such as Netscape 4.7, but the numeric version (Ÿ) works.

Top of Page Using the Codes To input non-English into an Web page, HTML employs a series of entity codes enclosed with an & on the left side and a ; (semi-colon) on the right. HTML SPECIAL CHARACTER TEMPLATE &(code); For example, the code for ç is "ccedil". To generate French ç in HTML, type the code ç into your HTML document as in: HTML - fran&cecedil;ais Result - français Here's another example using ¢ for ¢. HTML - It cost 5¢. Result - It cost 5¢. Some characters like œ (#156) are known by a number, not an entity code. For these characters the template is: HTML CHARACTER NUMBER TEMPLATE &#(number); For example to input sœur, the French word for sister you use the following code: HTML - sœur 'sister' Result - sœur 'sister' Troubleshooting the Encoding If one of the numeric codes (e.g. œ for œ) fails to display, try including the following meta tags in the header (between the <head></head>) tags. <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> Recommended <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> This will force the browser to switch to the correct encoding system.
