HTML
HTML symbols (like ∑, ☀, ☎) can be used in html page by entity symbol.
We can add symbols and special characters to HTML using character entities, which are special codes that web browsers translate into the correct symbols.
Entity Symbol
➔ There are many symbols that are not present on keyboard, can displayed by entity character of symbol.
➔ Entity name is enclosed by beginning with ampersand (&) and ends with a semicolon (;) ie: &#prod; is for symbol ∏
➔ Entity number(Decimal or Hexadecimal) can also be used instead of entity name. Ex: &8719; or ∏ for ∏ character.
There are two primary ways to write character entities in your code.
➔ Named entity: This uses symbol entity name. More readable and easier to remember for common characters. Example: For the copyright © symbol, we would type ©.
➔ Numeric entity: This uses decimal or hexadecimal numbers. Numeric codes are often more reliable and supported universally. Example: For the copyright © symbol, you would type © in decimal. For the copyright © symbol, you would type © in Hexadecimal.
