<h2><a name="h-24.1">24.1</a> Introduction to character entity references</h2>
A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html#entities">character entity reference</a> is an SGML
construct that references a character of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/charset.html">document
character set.</a>
<p>This version of HTML supports several sets of character entity
references:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#iso-88591">ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) characters</a> In accordance with
section 14 of <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-RFC1866" class="informref">[RFC1866]</a>, the set of Latin-1 entities has been extended by
this specification to cover the whole right part of ISO-8859-1 (all code
positions with the high-order bit set), including the already commonly used
&nbsp;, &copy; and &reg;. The names of the entities are taken from
the appendices of SGML (defined in <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-ISO8879" class="normref">[ISO8879]</a>).</li>
<li><a href="#sym">symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters</a>. These
characters may be represented by glyphs in the Adobe font "Symbol".</li>
<li><a href="#misc">markup-significant and internationalization characters</a>
(e.g., for bidirectional text).</li>
</ul>
<p>The following sections present the complete lists of character entity
references. Although, by convention, <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-ISO10646" class="normref">[ISO10646]</a> the comments
following each entry are usually written with uppercase letters, we have
converted them to lowercase in this specification for reasons of
readability.</p>
<h2><a name="h-24.2">24.2</a> <a name="iso-88591">Character entity references
for ISO 8859-1 characters</a></h2>
<p>The character entity references in this section produce characters whose
numeric equivalents should already be supported by conforming HTML 2.0 user
agents. Thus, the character entity reference &divide; is a more convenient
form than &#247; for obtaining the division sign (÷).</p>
<p>To support these named entities, user agents need only recognize the entity
names and convert them to characters that lie within the repertoire of <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-ISO88591" class="normref">
[ISO88591]</a>.</p>
<p>Character 65533 (FFFD hexadecimal) is the last valid character in UCS-2.
65534 (FFFE hexadecimal) is unassigned and reserved as the byte-swapped version
of ZERO WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE for byte-order detection purposes. 65535 (FFFF
hexadecimal) is unassigned.</p>

<h2><a name="h-24.3">24.3</a> <a name="sym">Character entity references for
symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters</a></h2>
<p>The character entity references in this section produce characters that may
be represented by glyphs in the widely available Adobe Symbol font, including
Greek characters, various bracketing symbols, and a selection of mathematical
operators such as gradient, product, and summation symbols.</p>
<p>To support these entities, user agents may support full <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-ISO10646" class="normref">[ISO10646]</a> or use
other means. Display of glyphs for these characters may be obtained by being
able to display the relevant <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-ISO10646" class="normref">[ISO10646]</a> characters or
by other means, such as internally mapping the listed entities, numeric
character references, and characters to the appropriate position in some font
that contains the requisite glyphs.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><em><strong>When to use Greek entities.</strong> This entity set contains
all the letters used in modern Greek. However, it does not include Greek
punctuation, precomposed accented characters nor the non-spacing accents
(tonos, dialytika) required to compose them. There are no archaic letters,
Coptic-unique letters, or precomposed letters for Polytonic Greek. The entities
defined here are not intended for the representation of modern Greek text and
would not be an efficient representation; rather, they are intended for
occasional Greek letters used in technical and mathematical works.</em></p>

<p>The character entity references in this section are for escaping

occur in the 128 to 159 range within the CP-1252 charset. These entities permit
the characters to be denoted in a platform-independent manner.</p>
<p>To support these entities, user agents may support full <a rel="biblioentry" href="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/references.html#ref-ISO10646" class="normref">[ISO10646]</a> or use
