Html entities--complete list--also having trouble with 

HTML-CSS
1

Hi,

I’m new here

Really finding freeCodeCamp easy to understand. I’m just doing the basics and playing around with html entities. I tried different ones to see what I’d get, but I couldn’t get anything out this one. [Spaces added to show.] & # 1 4 4

Well what is it, the invisible one?

I did a bit of a search and came up with these two links but neither lists them even though one is supposed to be complete.

Sorry links to the complete list are redacted due to me being a new user and unable to post links. Guess it thinks I’m spammer? No worries! I’ll soon prove them wrong! Hope to put them in soon, or a link to a new post when I am able to.

I’m curious since some of these entities are in fact letters from other languages if I changed the language in the html code would I in fact be able to write in them without having to write upteemth dozens symbols for each letter? Would the html code stay the same or would I have to learn new code for html since it’s based in English?

there isn’t an entity with 144 in the list you posted, which one are you asking about?

5

You can see for yourself https://www.freeformatter.com/html-entities.html

They don’t appear to be fully contiguous or have one for every single number.

It makes sense that nothing appears if you can’t find it in the list, right?

Do some only appear on certain interfaces? I was trying some numbers some gave me one of those squiggly pictures you get when it doesn’t display a symbol so I was wondering if I didn’t have the right thing loaded. However I was using the interactive editor which should display everything?

Does that mean it doesn’t exist? I would think they are numerical or 144 got skipped?

stuff is always being added to unicode (the unicode consortium adds new things yearly, like new alphabets/writing systems, or new emojis)

it’s not continuous, there are holes, but it can also be that the font you are using does not have a glyph for that specific unicode character, but if you don’t find it in any list it probably just means it does not exist
