== External Link Suggestion ==
Would it be a good idea to add an HTML character typer/generator (such as http://multiz.com/characters.php) to the external links section? This could be helpful to users unfamiliar with HTML. I thought I'd run it by everyone before posting it. [[User:Mjas|Mjas]] 18:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

* Merge to [[Numeric character reference]], a near-duplicate of the topic, but this has almost nothing to do with character encodings and that would be an inappropriate merge target. [[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 16:41, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
*: It is also a possibility. But I disagree that it "has almost nothing to do with character encodings" indeed – it discuss namely specific codes and their interpretation in HTML. BTW I presently noticed that this article is named "Character encoding'''s''' in HTML", although "[[Character encoding in HTML]]" (singular) IMHO would be more appropriate. Not "different code pages and other types of plain text encoding applied to HTML", as the current title suggests, but "encoding of characters in HTML", in the broad sense.

::* The use of character and entity references achieves the same thing as encoding, the transmission of Unicode characters, but it does so in quite a different way. The purpose of the character references is to identify the Unicode characters whilst still in a restricted encoding, such as plain ASCII.
::: If we were to merge the lot to "Encoding of characters in HTML" (which is already the scope [[Character encodings in HTML]] is using), then the risk is that is confuses these two quite distinct approaches, also that it nears [[WP:HOWTO]].[[User:Andy Dingley|Andy Dingley]] ([[User talk:Andy Dingley|talk]]) 11:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
