Left Logic’s HTML Entity Character Lookup tool is excitingly helpful for any web developer.
Some codes like & and © are known by heart, but most are just too much to remember. This is where this site comes in. This simple tool will easily find the HTML code you’re looking for.
To top it all off, if you’re a Mac user, you’re in luck. You can pick up their small Widget (scroll down to d/l) and reap the same benefits straight from your Dashboard.

That’s really useful. There are some on there that I haven’t seen before.
merci!
still annoyed there’s no x/html entity for the ellipse character ( ) though!
hmmm – character values work (atleast in editing)...
…
Very cool. Now I don’t have to do a Google search every time. Are there any other dashboard widgets that you would recommend?
Joel: Try hellip; Also, HTML entities will render as you expect them to (as this is Textile). Wrap them in code tags (gotta fix CSS for that though).
Rob: Hmm, other than this I just use the standards (Weather, Dictionary, Calendar). I also use the well designed Stikkit! service for quick note-tacking so I use their widget.
Great find! Bookmarked
aaaah – ta for that dimitry. Had struggled to find that for ages. One of my more used x/html characters :)
Thank you for great find it will save me loads of time

That is going to prove very helpful, I have an analog way currently that is scribblings on parchment.
