Er zijn heel veel characters die je kunt gebruiken in de dokument. Maar deze kun je niet zowieso toevoegen. Hiervoor moet je bijvoorbeeld de zogenoemde ampersant (&) gebruiken.

Je vind hieronder een overzicht van alle bekende characters die je kunt gebruiken met daarna een voorbeeld:
De gehele ISO-8859-1 character set (commonly called Latin-1) wordt ondersteund door HTML. Het kan gebeuren dat enkele characters anders getoond worden omdat de PC anders is ingesteld, waardoor het ook kan voorkomen dat een character niet als zodanig getoond wordt als ubedoeld.
