HTML Codes for Numerals

HTML supports codes for most of the common Latin symbols, including figures and letters. You'd use an HTML code for a numeral when you're displaying the number-as-number on the page and not part of a formula.

Symbol	HTML Number	Common Name
0	0	zero
1	1	one
2	2	two
3	3	three
4	4	four
5	5	five
6	6	six
7	7	seven
8	8	eight
9	9	nine

HTML Codes for Unaccented Letters

The standard upper-case and lower-case letters also map to HTML numbers, and you'd use them in similar circumstances as for numerals.

Letter	HTML Number
A	A
B	B
C	C
D	D
E	E
F	F
G	G
H	H
I	I
J	J
K	K
L	L
M	M
N	N
O	O
P	P
Q	Q
R	R
S	S
T	T
U	U
V	V
W	W
X	X
Y	Y
Z	Z
a	a
b	b
c	c
d	d
e	e
f	f
g	g
h	h
i	i
j	j
k	k
l	l
m	m
n	n
o	o
p	p
q	q
r	r
s	s
t	t
u	u
v	v
w	w
x	x
y	y
z	z

HTML Codes for Accented Letters

Codes for accented letters get more use because there's no guarantee that embedding the actual symbol within a page will display correctly. Because HTML source code is parsed by a browser before it's displayed, and because individual viewers of the webpage may use different fonts and encoding schemes depending on the default language of their browser, the best way to ensure accurate reproduction of these accented letters is to rely on the HTML number or the HTML name.
