The following table gives the character entity reference, decimal character reference, and hexadecimal character reference for 8-bit characters in the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) character set. Glyphs of the characters are available at the Unicode Consortium.
Browser support is generally best for the decimal character references, except for the accented characters (decimal 192-214, 216-246, 248-255), where the character entity references hold a slight edge.
Note that most Mac browsers will render fourteen Latin-1 characters incorrectly. These characters are decimal 166, 178, 179, 185, 188, 189, 190, 208, 215, 221, 222, 240, 253, and 254. See ISO-8859-1 and the Mac platform for more information.
Note that hexadecimal character references will cause errors with current validators (except the WDG HTML Validator) since these references are defined in a recent revision to the SGML standard that is not yet supported by most validators.
