Using Unicode Characters in HTML

Posted under HTML
Tags , ,

Numeric Unicode references can be added using the format :-

  • &#N; (for decimal unicode value N)
  • &#xN; (for hexadecimal unicode value N)

The use of Webdings and Wingdings font families is not universally compatible and is considered a hack – use unicode characters instead as above.
Wikipedia has a good article on this here.
Full unicode character charts may be found on unicode.org here.
