HTML Entities
In addition to the typical alpha-numerical characters displayed on a web page, special characters like © or & are rendered within your web pages by using HTML Entities in your HTML.
How to use entities for special characters within HTML:
For copyright notices, or trademarks it is customary to include
the appropriate signs:
| Symbol |
Entity |
Example |
| Copyright sign |
© |
Copyright © 1999 W3C |
| Registered trademark |
® |
MagiCo ® |
| Trademark |
™ |
Webfarer™ |
Note HTML 4.0 defines ™ for the trademark sign but this is not yet as widely supported as ™
There are a number of other entities you may find useful:

You can also use numeric character entities for the greek letters and mathematical symbols defined in Unicode. For more details, take a look at the list specified in the HTML 4 specification. Note that the entity names for these characters aren't recognized in Navigator 4, so you are recommended to stick to the numeric entities instead.
