HTML Symbol Table

Your browser should be able to draw the following symbols. The column under "Symbol" should have the appropriate greek character or math symbol. Most of the time, on this web site, I use the entity represetation for the symbol in the HTML code. Some browsers generate different symbols depending on whether it is represented as a character entity vs its unicode. If they are different then that is a bug in the browser code. They should be the same. This list was generated from the WWW3 character entity reference for greek and math symbols.

The reason there are two columns of symbols is that not all browsers have the same symbol representation for the entity definition and the uni-code definition. If you think that a page has displayed something funny then check this sheet and look for the symbol in the table.
