HTML Character Reference [con't]

Markup—Significant and Internationalization Characters

This last table is similar to the previous one, but lists the character entities defined in HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 used to perform special markup and internationalization tasks, from simple Latin ligatures like œ to characters that denote text direction for right-to-left scripts, such as Hebrew or Arabic.

Some of the more useful entities include the em and en dashes which can be used instead of the normal hyphen (— or —, instead of --) to pretty up your documents; the euro symbol (€ or €); and the various types of quotes which can be used to replace the non-standard characters used by Windows character encodings in the 128-159 code positions to make your Web pages cross platform compatible.
