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. Mjas 18:16, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I began using Multiz.com's special character generator about a year and a half ago. It is the best and easiest Greek character typer I have found. As one who conducts a lot of research, and often needs special characters, I believe I can recommend this. Finding this type of Greek character typer though searches like Google is near impossible--after a lot of fruitless searches, I can confirm this. Anyway, this is a good link for Wikipedia to have.

I believe there is one already:
It's been there for over a year when I posted it.
Is the character encoded by an HTML number the same character that is encoded by Unicode by the same number? For example, is character number 2343 in HTML the same as 2343 in Unicode? -- Abdull 14:28, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
This page states that a numeric entity reference *always* refers to a unicode character code point. The w3c (
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/charset.html) states that a numeric entity reference is a code point in the document's character set. This appears to be a contradiction and this page appears to be wrong. If this page is in fact correct, then this page may want to explain why the document's character set is Unicode. —Preceding

Let us discuss an edit [2] of user Ms2ger. Because he forged the m label (for which I put him a formal warning), this controversial edit attracted no attention. But a crucially important reference to the W3C, which prove its disappointment in HTTP/1.1 charset detection, was removed without any compensation. Should we restore that piece of text, or let us write all article from scratch for the third time? Incnis Mrsi ( talk) 11:37, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
The HTML decimal character rendering ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) "article" is a crappy backwater almost without inbound links. Its quality is better indicated by an evident misnomer in the title: there is no such term as decimal character reference, but there are numeric character references, and the essential word "reference" also was omitted. If nobody corrected this for 7 years, then it is apparently not needed to anyone. Let us merge the content which is not already here, and forget. Incnis Mrsi ( talk) 16:33, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
