Special Characters

Sometimes it is necessary to use a phrase, for example, in French or German on the website page or to display an example of HTML code on the page. For this purpose, the braces characters, opening "<" and closing ">" are used. They define the first and last character of the tag. For example, to display the "greater-than" sign or the opening "<" brace, the "&lt;" character is used. Each character has its &-ASCII code, which has a specific &#**** format, where **** is a numeric character. Pointing a &-ASCII code, the appropriate symbol will be output on the page. Also, some characters have &-Name codes, which have the &**** formats where **** is an alphabetic names of characters. Below are the tables with the most frequently used characters:
