How do I insert a symbol in HTML?

When you want to insert a special character, select Insert > HTML > Special Characters. From there are you presented with a few of the most common, or you can choose “Other” to view all the characters available. Simply select the character you would like to insert and the code is inserted for you.


Use the HTML entity ∞ or ∞.


You can use the following:

  • literal: (if the encoding you use can encode it — UTF-8 can, for example)
  • character reference: ∞ (decimal), ∞ (hexadecimal)
  • entity reference: ∞

But whether it is displayed correctly does also depend on the font the text is displayed with.


This does not require a HTML entity if you are using a modern encoding (such as UTF-8). And if you're not already, you probably should be.


From Wikipedia:

∞

According to List of XML and HTML character entity references:
