Character Sets

You can use UTF-8 to count in Turkish:

  1. bir
  2. iki
  3. well I don't know the escapes to use the chars here but

The default character set does not accomodate special characters. TO fix this, you can specify a UTF-8 character encoding by adding a meta element with a charset attribute to the head of the document.

UTF-8 is like the universal alphabet for the Internet. Every web page you create should have this line in its head.

HTML Entities

An "HTML entity" is a special character that cannot be represented in a document, basically because that character is reserved for the HTML synthax, another example is a char which does not have a correspondant key on your keyboard.

< > & are reserved chars (use the inspector to look at how you can escape HTML syntax).

Entities always begin with an ampersand (&) and end with a semicolon (;). In between you put special code that your browser interpets as a symbol. In this case lt, gt, amp
as less/than, greater-than, and ampersand symbols, respectively

There's a lot of HTML entities, to check them out look here
