Give me a sign or symbol or something

There comes a time in almost every bloggers life when they want to display a special character or symbol in the content area of their posts. Maybe you're talking about the weather and want to tell folks up north at it's a comfortable 54° outside today, instead of typing out 54 degrees. Maybe you want to tell somebody they aren't worth 2¢, instead of typing out two cents. Maybe you're discussing something that has a Trademark™, a Copyright © or is Registered ®. To do this you'll need to enter special character or symbol code in HTML.

If your blogging platform doesn't have a WYSIWYG post editing window you can enter the HTML code directly into the post. If you're using Blogger, Typepad or the WYSIWYG editor available for Wordpress you'll need to switch to the Edit HTML mode of your post editor.

To display this sentence with the symbols we'll have to enter the HTML code for the Trademark and Copyright.

Maybe you're discussing something that has a Trademark™or a Copyright©.

The symbols are displayed in bold.

Maybe you're discussing something that has a Trademark™or a Copyright©.

Some of the symbols I commonly use are in the extended entry.
