Appendix D. Symbols
In this appendix, you’ll find a listing of the most common accented characters and special symbols, along with their code names (entities), as well as number references. The entities are perhaps easier to remember, but both systems are equally valid.
Note that the tables were generated with a browser, for authenticity’s sake, and thus appear slightly more pixelated than regular text in this book.
