Character Entity References for Symbols, Mathematical Symbols, & Greek Letters

This is the complete list of character entity references defined in HTML 4.0.

Not all browsers support all these entities. For example, Firefox and Opera support the double arrow entities but IE6 doesn't. If your browser doesn't support the character it will probably display something like an empty box or a question mark.

This list is copied rote from W³C's Character entity references in HTML 4.0.
