User:Erbingha/Special Characters
Certain characters have special meanings in HTML, and therefore, will not be properly displayed by the browser. For example, if you wanted to use a less-than symbol in your text, you couldn't just type "<". The browser would interpret that symbol as the beginning of a tag, that it doesn't recognize, and ignore everything until it came to a greater-than symbol. To remedy this you can use the following reserved HTML characters.
- < = <
- > = >
- & = &
- " = "
- (space) =
- ® = ®
- © = ©
