HTML Escape Characters
Every time we need one of the "HTML Escape Characters", like the copyright character (©) or others, we have to go searching for it. We finally decided to put together a table of many of these escape characters. The table below has the HTML code, then a quick description of the html code (what the symbol should look like) then the character representation. < | less than sign | < | > | greater than sign | > | |
