HTML ASCII characters which are used in place of symbols are not allowed within an HTML coded page.
You can find this list on the W3C site, which would also include the unused escape codes.





Most of these escape codes will never be used or needed, but when they are required, it's nice to know how to find them.
I use the HTML blank space, and ampersand most often. However there are a number of symbols i never escape, but they still seem to work.
In fact I have these pages validated, and the normal typed symbols don't get flagged as an error.
That is, using the equal sign instead of the html escape code for the equal sign does not show as an error.

Some browsers allow [font face = "symbol"] to create symbols.

Many of these escape codes are not required, but be careful all browsers are different.
