HTML symbols allow you to add mathematical, technical, and currency symbols to a page.
These symbols are generally not available on a standard keyboard.
To add symbols to a page use HTML entity names, like € ( € ) or ∑ ( ∑ ).
Or you can use their decimal or hex equivalences (see below).
Three euro HTML entity notations: name, decimal, and hex.
They all create the same € symbol.
<div>Display the euro symbol with: €</div>
<div>Display the euro symbol with: €</div>
