hi,
I use this page for symbol reference ever since I can remember
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_symbols.asp
one thing bugs me because I never knew what is the difference
if to use the symbol and just copy paste it, write the code or the name of that symbol
for example if I want to write “3 dots” (horizontal ellipsis)
does it matter ?
It can matter as some text editors don’t receive copy and paste exactly as you might think.
In practice, I use the Entity Name (beginning with an ampersand (&) because they are usually descriptive and thus easier to remember.

is easier to remember than

well that makes perfect sense
thanks for the article
will have a look at it
according to [this*](http://shoptalkshow.com/episodes/029-with-tab-atkins/ “Shoptalk Show 029: Tab Atkins”) episode of shop talk show html5 doesnt require the codes anymore and accepts mostly all of the symbols. it’s one of the questions answered towards the end of the show.
