HTML Special Character entities.

Character entity references in HTML 4.0 for
symbols,
mathematical symbols,

Greek letters.

Note: These are all recognised by the lynx text browser version 2.7 except where noted and are translated to a (relatively) usable substitute. All entities and rendered characters shown within single quote characters as in 'ƒ' and 'ƒ' except for some shown within parentheses where quotes would be confusing as in (‘) and (‘).
