- <h2><a name="h-24.1">24.1</a> Introduction to character entity references</h2>
- A <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html#entities">character entity reference</a> is an SGML
- construct that references a character of the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/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/html4/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/html4/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/html4/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/html4/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>

- <p>The character entity references in this section are for escaping
- markup-significant characters (these are the same as those in HTML 2.0 and
- 3.2), for denoting spaces and dashes. Other characters in this section apply to
- internationalization issues such as the disambiguation of bidirectional text
- (see the section on <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/dirlang.html#bidirection">bidirectional

- <p>Entities have also been added for the remaining characters occurring in
- CP-1252 which do not occur in the HTMLlat1 or HTMLsymbol entity sets. These all
- 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/html4/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/html4/references.html#ref-ISO10646" class="normref">[ISO10646]</a> characters or
- by other means, such as internally mapping the listed entities, numeric
