There are all sorts of symbols that we use
in everyday life. Sometimes it's hard to get those symbols on your
Web pages. If you want to use a symbol that is not on your keyboard,
you may not know any other way to enter it onto your pages. If you
are trying to show computer code, you may not know how to get the
code to show up without running it. With these codes you will be able
to do all this and more.
