HTML 4.0 Special Characters

These characters are specified in HTML 4.0.

This document is using the Unicode character set. This may cause some characters to appear very large in your browser. If this is the case, you may want to set it to use a different font for Unicode. To do this in Netscape, go to the "Edit" menu, select "Preferences" and then "Fonts" (under "Appearance"). In the "For the Encoding:" menu, select "Unicode", and select a font size (larger or smaller) that displays all the characters properly.
