A Designer's Guide to HTML Symbol Entities ⓥⓘⓢⓘⓣ ⓜⓨ ⓑⓛⓞⓖ

Use these ASCII characters for Twitter, Facebook. MySpace, and more ... ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ __̴ı̴̴̡̡̡ ̡͌l̡̡̡ ̡͌l̡*̡̡ ̴̡ı̴̴̡ ̡̡͡|̲̲̲͡͡͡ ̲▫̲͡ ̲̲̲͡͡π̲̲͡͡ ̲̲͡▫̲̲͡͡ ̲|̡̡̡ ̡ ̴̡ı̴̡̡ ̡͌l̡̡̡̡.

Some characters, such as the less than and greater than signs, are used specifically within HTML markup. But you can also display ascii charactersthese characters as text; simply enter the HTML entity code in your page markup. For example, to display the less than sign (<), you need to enter &lt; - the entity name, or &#60; - the entity number. Below I am listing a few of symbol entities that can be used in layout design.

just copy & paste any of these just as if they were letters - DOUBLE CLICK TO SELECT

You might notice an increase the size of these symbols from the more conventional size of 12 pixels, to 48 pixels. I did this so you can truly see the full details. And a few of these characters have color added to show the common style of the symbol. ENJOY!
