It would seem that Netscape requires the semicolon ";" but IE does not, forcing the author to keep both in mind when using Character Entity References. The following is a list of Character Entity References that have been claimed in various supposed "HTML authorities." This page has been loaded in Netscape and Internet Explorer (IE) side by side to test them out. Some seem to be universal, others are browser specific, and the rest don't work at all. If you find discrepencies or errors in the 3^rd or 4^th columns, please sign my guestbook and let me know. Please include: the problem, browser, and version number.
