Character Entities for ISO Latin-1

There are several methods to display Greek letters

• Provide a small gif per letter - This works in most browsers

• Use the Symbol font - This works on only Microsoft systems

  <font face="Symbol">a b c d</font> - a b c d
  <font face="Symbol">A B C D</font> - A B C D

• HTML 4 provides basic support for the Adobe Symbol font which includes Greek letters. However, using this is probably a very bad idea until all browsers support it. IE 5 supports the Greek letters, but not all the rest of the character set.

  &alpha; &beta; &gamma; &delta; - α β γ δ
  &Alpha; &Beta; &Gamma; &Delta; - Α Β Γ Δ

  &forall; &larr; &rarr; &uarr; &darr; &harr; &crarr; &rArr; &empty; &and; &or; &ang;
  ∀ ← → ↑ ↓ ↔ ↵ ⇒ ∅ ∧ ∨ ∠
