# Special Entities

The following table gives the character entity reference, decimal character reference, and hexadecimal character reference for markup-significant and internationalization characters, as well as the rendering of each in your browser. Glyphs of the characters are available at the Unicode Consortium.

With the exception of HTML 2.0's &quot;, &amp;, &lt;, and &gt;, browser support for these entities is generally quite poor, but recent browsers support some of the character entity references and decimal character references.
