Displaying Special Characters


Character map
Why does putting an & in my text mess up my page?

For the full list of displayable characters, check out the ASCII CHART.

Example

I had to learn this one early- I was the MIS Director for Jacoby & Meyers!

I want to use the words, "me & you" so that they appear
just like that. I also want to do a smiley face ;->
or maybe a sad face ;-<

Some characters like > & < have special meaning to HTML. Therefore we must use special codes

& is &amp;, < is &lt;, and > is &gt;
