How do I use special characters on my web page?

To use special characters such as umlauts ( ö ) or tildes ( ñ ), you need to use an escape sequence and the appropriate code for the character. In HTML the escape sequence begins with an ampersand ( & ) and ends with a semicolon ( ; ).

For example, to produce a lowercase o with an umlaut, you must enter: &ouml; You can also use the ASCII code for the character. In this case, you would enter: &#246; Special characters also allow you to display examples of HTML tags on a web page. For the angle brackets that surround tags, enter: &lt; &gt; For example, to display the  <p>  tag, enter: &lt;p&gt;

For a complete list of special characters, see The HTML Coded Character Set.
