== 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)

::* 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]].
