As HTML code is made up of letters and punctuation marks not all text and punctuation can be used to read as text on a web page.

This page is a compilation of all the text and punctuation for which you have to type in an instruction / item of code instead of the letter.

One of the most important of these is the non-breaking space. As a browser only recognises a maximum of one space in between words if you a wider space between words you have to type in non-breaking spaces to the width you want. The code for a non-breaking space is   so if I want three non-breaking spaces between two words I'd type in     like    this.

Type or paste into the text in the appropriate place like you would with a non breaking space or the text commands above. The only difference is that to make the accent sit over the letter you want it to sit over you type letter into the accent command immediately after the pound sign.

In other words if I want to type in my sisters name Siân, which has a circumflex accent over the a I would enter Siân

n.b. The code (left col) is shown without the letter, though I've put a letter with the accent in the function column to show how it looks.
