I have seen lots of different & funny special characters. Like &spades;

I have been looking for code to "camera". I have codes for "note"= ♫

Do you know any good websites with lots of those special characters.

Specially with those "special" special chars.

Here's one reference:

[htmlhelp.com...]

There are three linked pages here, for:
Latin-1 Entities
Symbols and Greek Letters (includes your spades example)
Other Special Characters

You may find most of these to be a lot less novel than &spades; - it's a very practical set.

Check whether the font you use, supports the characters you want to display and/or include the following line between the <HEAD> </HEAD> tags of your pages:

In order to use any non-standard font in a web page, you have to embed the font. This involves converting the font file on your computer into a special file format. Microsoft has a site devoted to font embedding and typography.

[microsoft.com...]

Under the Tools and Utilities section, you'll see a tool (MS WEFT) for embedding fonts. It's not very difficult, but there are legal implications to embedding fonts. The WEFT tool will indicate whether or not you can embed a font in your page.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Maybe he means characters like these:

� � � � � � �

Those are easy to make.

PS - can you see them?

Could be... then in that case, this link has every single ASCII Code imaginable:

[ascii.cl...]

It's a great reference for the codes. I've found that some browsers have problems with & ©, etc., but the numerical equivalents almost never fail.

Now this is getting to sound interesting. Thank you all.
