ISO Latin 1 / HTML Entity Names and Codes

The following is a list of the HTML entity names of all the ISO Latin-1 Characters. The term ISO Latin-1 refers to the characters defined by the ISO Standard ISO8859-1 Latin-1 characters codes. RFC 1866 recommends referencing special characters with a character entity name rather than the ISO Latin-1 code entity name.

Rendering Note

This table lists the ISO Latin-1 numeric entity names in column 1, and an alternate character entity name in column 2 if one exists. Column 3 displays the character if your browser recognizes the ISO Latin-1 entity. Column 4 lists the common term for each character.
