Depending on your browser and your installed fonts, some of those characters above will not display properly. I have discovered that Opera, Firefox, Mozilla and Netscape all handle fonts with missing characters properly. If a font is missing a character, they borrow it from a font that has it rather than leaving it blank or drawing an empty box. IE is not clever enough to do this.

I have the following fonts work best for rendering the more exotic characters: Lucida Unicode, Lucida Sans, Serif, SansSerif, MS PGothic, MSUIgothic and Monospaced.

I also discovered many fonts from the pre-Unicode era do not work well. Ideally you want all your fonts designed for Unicode. If you have fonts in Opentype, PostScript Type 1 and TrueType form, you can experiment to see which works best, testing them as appropriate in your word processor, Java and browser.

Special Character Entity Codes

These are various special characters you can get with named entities. The list does not include the accented letters or foreign language letters.

Entity Codes for Special Characters in HTML
Rendered Char	Char Entity	Hex Entity	Decimal Entity	Java Literal	Description	Notes
"	"	"	"	'\u0022'	quotation mark	double quote. APL quote. Usually use the “ and ”
&	&	&	&	'\u0026'	ampersand
'	'	'	'	'\u0027'	apostrophe	no entity needed, single quote, use &grave; and acute for left/right, or ‘ and ’. ' is not officially recognised.
<	<	<	<	'\u003c'	less-than sign
>	>	>	>	'\u003e'	greater-than sign
@	@	@	@	'\u0040'	at sign	no entity needed. &at; is not officially recognised.
^	^	^	^	'\u005e'	circumflex	no entity needed. spacing ^, see also &circ; ˆ
`	`	`	`	'\u0060'	grave	no entity needed.
~	~	~	~	'\u007e'	tilde	spacing tilde not a dead key. see &sim ∼

				'\u00ad'	soft hyphen	The soft hyphen is always visible, and may look slightly different from a normal hyphen. It is intended for use at ends of line to indicate a word break. There is no such thing as a non-breaking hyphen that forces text on both sides to stay on the same there is no such thing as a discretionary hyphen that marks a good place to split a word over two lines if necessary, invisible unless the word breaks over two lines.
