Basics: Escape Character Sequences

Escape Character Sequences are little code sequences that are used to display symbols, like <, #, &, @, ©, things like that, so I have made list below for you to copy and paste. You would use these within your <p> tags. So rather than typing:

<p>I’m going to the theatre.</p>

you would put type:

<p>I&rsquo;m going to the theatre.</p>.

Please note that there may be more than one sequence that will give you the same symbol, Here are the lists:
