HTML ISO-8859-1 Entity Codes

In general, if you have to go through some keyboard shenanigans to get a character to appear in a word processor or your web layout program, then the chances are that the browser will not produce the chosen character correctly on all platforms. Instead, you need to use “entity codes” to tell the browser exactly what you want it to show.

This table shows the “&” codes for the entire web-legal character set.

Note that for accented characters, use the following structure (substituting any accentable character for the ‘e’, ‘o’ or ‘i’ in these examples, and note that these are case sensitive!):

  • é = é
  • è = è
  • ö = ö
  • Ü = Ü
  • î = î
  • å = å
  • ç = ç
  • ø = ø
  • ß = ß
  • ñ = ñ

If you need to put in mathematical symbols (especially the < and > symbols, which are usually reserved as tag-markers in HTML) or other unusual symbols, use:

  • < = <
  • > = >
  • ± = ±
  • © = ©
  • ® = ®
  • ° = ° (degree)
  • π = π (pi)
  • μ = μ (micro)
  • £ = £ or £ (pound)
  • € = € (euro symbol)
    Note that this symbol does not work in all fonts, as the font must have the character included in its character set.

Or simply use the digital entity code for the characters (prefixed by &# and ending with a semicolon) as shown in the fourth column of the table.

Note that it is NOT reliable to use digital codes from #129–#159. Even though they appear to work, this is dependent on the native character set used by the platform/browser and so is not a reliable approach when dealing with a non-English readership.
