Links to additional information and similar sites

Here are some links to sites the author has found useful for information regarding character sets as used on the Internet:

HTML entities for the Macintosh character set

A similar table to the set i've provided on these pages, except sorted in MacOS character set order, and fine-tuned to the needs of those who want a quick lookup to convert from MacOS characters to something maximally likely to work across modern browsers.

Character set information from W3C

Solid background information from the international WWW standards-setting agency. An excellent starting point.

Character entity references in HTML 4

The official W3C table of character entity (name) references. Similar data to this page, organized in a different way.

Outstanding alternative/complement to this site. Highly recommended!
