Finding the Right Symbol Code for the Right Symbol

When building websites for clients you will often receive word documents full of special characters. Without the proper HTML character code, your symbol could display improperly. Common symbols I look for are registered trademark, copyright, quote marks, em and en spaces, and left and right symbols.

I would generally type in the name of the symbol inside Google to find the proper code. But most sites made it difficult to find the right symbol I was looking for because they were small and hard to see. I created a page of symbols with the ones most commonly used towards the top. I hope this helps you in your everyday search for the right symbol code for your projects.

I started my career as a print designer and wanted nothing to do with "code". Then slowly I began to learn by reading tutorials online. My learning process has been challenging, yet very rewarding. My goal is to document the lessons I have learned and to encourage other beginners in the field of web design / front-end programming. - Jacob Lett
