HTML Symbols

For the symbols that are not present on a normal keyboard, HTML entity names can be used to add them to an HTML page. In case of the absence of an entity name or otherwise, also, an entity number, a decimal, or hexadecimal reference can be used for such symbols.

Example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Cent: &#162;</p>
<p>Pound: &#163;</p>
<p>Yen: &#165;</p>
<p>Euro: &#8364;</p>
</body>
</html>

Explanation:

In the above example, we are displaying the different currency symbols using their entity numbers.
