Most of the entity
codes will be under the "Latin-Extended A" section but a few may be
found under "Latin-1 Supplement" and "Latin-Extended B" or
further down the list in "General Punctuation". Click on the
appropriate list from the above choices, then click on the link for "links
without images (fast)" or "links without images (slow)." Scroll
through the list until you find the desired entity; if the list indicates
"control" do not use that--keep looking . Click on the link for that
entity; this will take you to a page with an image of the symbol and a list of
encodings. The code you want is "HTML Entity (decimal)" [if should
start with an ampersand and number symbol [&#] and end with a semi colon
[;].
