      For more information see W3C's HTML Specifications or use your favorite search engine to find other sites that explain HTML.

      Most unusual characters can be directly entered without any problems.

      If you do encounter problems, try using HTML character entities. A common example looks like &amp; for an ampersand & character. For a full list of entities see HTML's entities page. Some of the available characters include:
