Special Characters

Introduction

The default encoding format for HTML pages is UTF-8, which is the American format. However, this format does not include our Latin accented characters.

It is necessary to conform to this standard by encoding our special characters in a format that this standard can understand. That’s why there are two encodings: one ISO in numeric format and the other specific to HTML expressed in natural language.

An ISO code is written as: &#code;, while an HTML code is written as: &name;.

General Coding Rules

HTML codes are mnemonic abbreviations (in English) of accented letters.

Syntax:

& letter + abbreviation;

Example for É:

Rule: & E + acute;

Actual code: & Eacute;

List of the most common abbreviations:

Description	HTML Abbreviation
grave accent	`grave`
acute accent	`acute`
circumflex accent	`circ`
cedilla	`cedil`
umlaut	`uml`
tilde	`tilde`
