Some characters in this table may not display as the symbols which are defined by the 8859-1 specification. This is because the font you are using for preformatted text does not contain the character in question. There is nothing wrong with the markup below, nor with your browser, really. It's just one of those instances where practice doesn't quite live up to the theory.
Note: This table is accurate as of 20 February 1996.
