How to Format Symbols on a Web Page

Use symbols to represent marks or words that do not appear on a keyboard, or to add mathematical entries to your web page. Adding symbols (also known as character entities) requires a basic knowledge of HTML.



Step1
Open the page in a text editing program, such as EditPad or Notepad. Place the cursor where the symbol will appear.


Step2
Type the code for the symbol exactly as it appears on the listing.


Step3
Save the page and open it in a browser to view it. If the code is correctly entered, you will see the symbol; otherwise, you will see the text of what you typed.
