ISO8859-1 Table
In addition to regular alpha numeric characters, special characters can be added to an HTML document using the ISO8859-1 table shown in Table C.1. It is easy to add special characters to an HTML document. For example, if youd like the copyright symbol (©) to appear somewhere in an HTML document, just insert © or © where youd like the © symbol to appear. Note that the semicolon is necessary. An example of how special characters can be used in a Web page is given next. The Web page shown in Figure C.1 was created using the following HTML code:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>HTML Special character demonstration</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="#000000" LINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#808080" ALINK="#FF0080">
<H1>
Web pages can be
