HTML Symbol Entiities

HTML supports a variety of entity symbols which can be entered using either numbers or an entity name.  The number or name is preceded by the ‘&’ sign and ends in a semi-colon (;).  To enter a symbol switch to HTML view in the editor and enter the number or name (Ω for example).  

Cut and past is also supported.  Select the symbol from this page, ‘ctrl C’ to copy.  Position the cursor in the editor and ‘ctrl V’ to paste.
