ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. In order to display certain characters or symbols within your HTML pages, you must use a special ASCII code. The codes below display the character, description and HTML code when displayed on your web page.
NOTE: In order to control exactly what characters are displayed for each code, instead of allowing things to default to a browser's settings, you must place this line between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags of your document, this is the actual setting for this page:
