Entities
Entities are sequences of text begining with the ampersand (&) and ending with a semi-colon (;). They are mostly used for characters that exceed the tilde (~), with an exception of the ampersand, as the browser might mistake it for the beginning of an entity (thus resulting in a rendering error). The reason that the tilde is the cut off point is that the characters afterwards are unable to be typed on the most basic US/QWERTY layout. You can also use &#x----;, replacing the ---- for the hexadecimal code for a leter (i.e. T = T), or &#---;, replacing the --- for the decimal code for a number (i.e. È = È).
In the following table, the most common of the 128 characters following the tilde are displayed.
