XHTML 1.0 Entities Test: Special characters for XHTML

This table shows the XHTML entities defined in the special section of the DTD. You can compare this against the original plain-text DTD file. Note: The entities in section “C0 Controls and Basic Latin” are also shown in my listing of the entities in the Latin-1 section for continuity and clarity of that section.
