How To › Web Design & Dev HTML Codes and Special Characters HTML codes to add special characters on your web page Share Pin Email Print Gary Conner/Getty Images Web Design & Dev HTML Basics CSS by Jeremy Girard Updated November 17, 2018 When you are coding a web page, you often need to use characters that are not found on a keyboard. To add these characters to your page, you cannot simply type them out. Instead, you have to code that character using an HTML special character.In other instances, certain characters are reserved in HTML, like the "less than" and "greater than" arrows that make up all HTML elements, or the ampersand symbol. Even though these characters are on your keyboard, you still would encode these in your HTML so that your document knows how to properly render them on the screen.HTML Codes for Web PagesThe following list includes the HTML codes for many of the special character symbols used on web pages. To use these codes, you could write the special character out by hand, using either the friendly code, the numerical code, or even the hex code. You could also just find the character you need from the list below and paste in the code for it into your HTML document. You should use the Unicode character set and define that in the head of your document. You define this character set by putting this line in the of your document.CharacterFriendly CodeNumerical CodeHex CodeDescriptionAAAACapital AaaaaLowercase AÀÀÀÀCapital A-graveààààLowercase
