Some characters will not display properly in Web documents because they are characters used in tags or for other purposes in HTML. Examples of such characters are < and >. However, you can include these special characters on your Web pages by using what are called "escape sequences."
Escape sequences begin with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;).
Tag | Result | Character |
& | & | Ampersand |
< | < | Less than |
> | > | Greater than |
| Non-breaking space | |
