HTML Character Sets
To display an HTML page correctly, the browser must know what character-set to use.
The character-set for the early world wide web was ASCII. ASCII supports the numbers from 0-9, the uppercase
and lowercase English alphabet, and some special characters.
Complete ASCII reference.
Since many countries use characters which are not a part of ASCII, the default character-set for modern browsers
is ISO-8859-1.
Complete ISO-8859-1 reference.
If a web page uses a different character-set than ISO-8859-1, it should be specified in the <meta> tag.

ISO Character Sets
It is the International Standards Organization (ISO) that defines the standard character-sets for different
alphabets/languages.
The different character-sets being used around the world are listed below:
Character set Description Covers
ISO-8859-1 Latin alphabet part 1 North America, Western Europe, Latin America, the
Caribbean, Canada, Africa
ISO-8859-2 Latin alphabet part 2 Eastern Europe
ISO-8859-3 Latin alphabet part 3 SE Europe, Esperanto, miscellaneous others
ISO-8859-4 Latin alphabet part 4 Scandinavia/Baltics (and others not in ISO-8859-1)
ISO-8859-5 Latin/Cyrillic part 5 The languages that are using a Cyrillic alphabet such as
Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian and Macedonian
ISO-8859-6 Latin/Arabic part 6 The languages that are using the Arabic alphabet
ISO-8859-7 Latin/Greek part 7 The modern Greek language as well as mathematical
symbols derived from the Greek
ISO-8859-8 Latin/Hebrew part 8 The languages that are using the Hebrew alphabet
ISO-8859-9 Latin 5 part 9 The Turkish language. Same as ISO-8859-1 except
Turkish characters replace Icelandic ones
ISO-8859-10 Latin 6 Lappish, Nordic, Eskimo The Nordic languages
ISO-8859-15 Latin 9 (aka Latin 0) Similar to ISO 8859-1 but replaces some less common
symbols with the euro sign and some other missing
characters
ISO-2022-JP Latin/Japanese part 1 The Japanese language
ISO-2022-JP-2 Latin/Japanese part 2 The Japanese language
ISO-2022-KR Latin/Korean part 1 The Korean language
The Unicode Standard
Because the character-sets listed above are limited in size, and are not compatible in multilingual environments,
the Unicode Consortium developed the Unicode Standard.
The Unicode Standard covers all the characters, punctuations, and symbols in the world.
Unicode enables processing, storage and interchange of text data no matter what the platform, no matter what
the program, no matter what the language.
The Unicode Consortium
The Unicode Consortium develops the Unicode Standard. Their goal is to replace the existing character-sets with
its standard Unicode Transformation Format (UTF).
The Unicode Standard has become a success and is implemented in XML, Java, ECMAScript (JavaScript), LDAP,
CORBA 3.0, WML, etc. The Unicode standard is also supported in many operating systems and all modern
browsers.
The Unicode Consortium cooperates with the leading standards development organizations, like ISO, W3C, and
ECMA.
Unicode can be implemented by different character-sets. The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8 and UTF-
16:
Character-set Description
UTF-8 A character in UTF8 can be from 1 to 4 bytes long. UTF-8 can represent any character in the
Unicode standard. UTF-8 is backwards compatible with ASCII. UTF-8 is the preferred
encoding for e-mail and web pages
UTF-16 16-bit Unicode Transformation Format is a variable-length character encoding for Unicode,
capable of encoding the entire Unicode repertoire. UTF-16 is used in major operating
systems and environments, like Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/CE and the Java
and .NET byte code environments
Tip: The first 256 characters of Unicode character-sets correspond to the 256 characters of ISO-8859-1.
Tip: All HTML 4 processors already support UTF-8, and all XHTML and XML processors support UTF-8 and UTF-16!

HTML ASCII Reference
« Previous Next Reference »
The ASCII character-set is used to send information between computers on the Internet.
The ASCII Character Set
ASCII stands for the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange". It was designed in the early 60's, as
a standard character-set for computers and hardware devices like teleprinters and tapedrives.
ASCII is a 7-bit character set containing 128 characters.
It contains the numbers from 0-9, the uppercase and lowercase English letters from A to Z, and some special
characters.
The character-sets used in modern computers, HTML, and Internet are all based on ASCII.
The following table lists the 128 ASCII characters and their equivalent HTML entity codes.

HTML ISO-8859-1 Reference
« Previous Next Reference »
Modern browsers supports several character-sets:
• ASCII character set
• Standard ISO character sets
• Mathematical symbols, Greek letters, and other symbols
ISO-8859-1
ISO-8859-1 is the default character set in most browsers.
The first 128 characters of ISO-8859-1 is the original ASCII character-set (the numbers from 0-9, the uppercase
and lowercase English alphabet, and some special characters).
The higher part of ISO-8859-1 (codes from 160-255) contains the characters used in Western European countries
and some commonly used special characters.
Entities are used to implement reserved characters or to express characters that cannot easily be entered with the
keyboard.
Reserved Characters in HTML
Some characters are reserved in HTML and XHTML. For example, you cannot use the greater than or less than
signs within your text because the browser could mistake them for markup.
HTML and XHTML processors must support the five special characters listed in the table below:

HTML URL Encoding Reference
« Previous Next Reference »
URL encoding converts characters into a format that can be transmitted over the Internet.
URL - Uniform Resource Locator
Web browsers request pages from web servers by using a URL.
The URL is the address of a web page, like: http://www.w3schools.com.
URL Encoding
URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set.
Since URLs often contain characters outside the ASCII set, the URL has to be converted into a valid ASCII format.
URL encoding replaces unsafe ASCII characters with a "%" followed by two hexadecimal digits.
URLs cannot contain spaces. URL encoding normally replaces a space with a + sign.
Try It Yourself
If you click the "Submit" button below, the browser will URL encode the input before it is sent to the server. A
page at the server will display the received input.
Submit
Try some other input and click Submit again.
URL Encoding Functions
In JavaScript, PHP, and ASP there are functions that can be used to URL encode a string.
In JavaScript you can use the encodeURI() function. PHP has the rawurlencode() function and ASP has the
Server.URLEncode() function.
Click the "URL Encode" button to see how the JavaScript function encodes the text.
Note: The JavaScript function encodes space as %20.

ISO Language Codes
The HTML lang attribute can be used to declare the language of a Web page or a portion of a Web page. This is
meant to assist search engines and browsers.
According to the W3C recommendation you should declare the primary language for each Web page with the lang
attribute inside the <html> tag, like this:
<html lang="en">
...
</html>
In XHTML, the language is declared inside the <html> tag as follows:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
...
</html>
ISO 639-1 Language Codes
ISO 639-1 defines abbreviations for languages. In HTML and XHTML they can be used in the lang and xml:lang
attributes.
