HTML Character Entities

An "entity" is a fancy term for a symbol. Several symbols, such as copyright, trademark, or foreign cash symbols, exist on your standard keyboard, so you need to display these characters using a different method.

There are three parts to every entity.

• Each begins with a ampersand - &
• Then the entities name - copy
• And finally a semicolon - ;

Copyright:

Combine © to make - © - Copyright symbol.

Expect complications if you forget to include all three parts of an entity.
