Overzicht van (alle) speciale karakters.
Deze tabel is ooit eens gemaakt voor eigen gebruik. Om makelijk de acute en andere accenten terug te vinden.
In principe kun je in html alleen gewone tekens weergeven, dus letters, cijfers en wat leestekens. Dit is historisch zo gekomen en heeft er onder andere mee te maken dat vroeger toen geheugen nog duur en beperkt was ( leve de PC met meer dan 128 KILO byte geheugen) letters met maximaal 7 bit werden vergegeven, dat geeft ruimte aan 128 tekens, veel minder dan er zijn. Daarom zijn er codes afgesproken om andere tekens weer te geven. Dit vinden we terug in de UTF-8, UTF-16 en UTF-32 coderingen die steeds meer gebruikt worden.
Voor veel voorkomende is er zowel een letter als cijfer code. Omdat de html-code vaak afgeleid is van de engelse beschrijving heb ik die maar gebruikt.

Of een code daadwerkelijk ook goed wordt weergegeven hangt ook nog eens af van de “character-set” voor een pagina en de mogelijkheden van je PC en OS
