The standards stuff: The HTML 2.0 Standard
includes a section on Character
Entity Sets and an overview on the HTML
Coded Character Set (The entity names are derived from ISO 8879).
Or have a
look at the Latin-1
Character Entities as listed in an draft for the HTML 3.0
specification.
The Appendix
II of CERN's HTML+
Discussion Document contains a table
(in PostScript format) of the proposed character entities for HTML+ and their
corresponding character codes for Unicode and the Adobe Latin-1 & Symbol
character sets.
Please note that there is nothing wrong with using characters of ISO Latin-1 above 127: HTTP/1.0 uses the 8bit ISO latin-1 as default encoding. (Thanks to Roman Czyborra for pointing this out!)
