And some of these characters may have special meanings for formatting text. To add such characters / symbols to an HTML text, you can use an HTML entity name or an entity number in decimal or hexadecimal.

This post list many special Characters in HTML as a friendly reference. For a general rule of how to calculate the HTML character encoding from ASCII code, please check HTML Document Character Set and Encoding.
