The Characters tab


HTML uses a specific notation for encoding special characters to ensure a uniform display across multiple computer platforms. The Characters tab includes those special characters, as specified by ISO 8859-1 and the HTML 3.2 standard. Adobe GoLive uses the content of the Characters tab to map special characters you enter to the proper Web-specific character codes. These special characters fall into three categories:
  • Basics contains often used special characters, such as quotation marks (""), ampersand (&), greater than (>), and less than (<).
  • Characters lists the entire set of Western-language characters.
  • General punctuation includes variants of spaces and dashes.

    • Each character appears with its HTML name, visual image, Mac OS and ISO codes, and a textual description.
