Description of Results
The unicode table contains a subset of the HTML pseudo-named character entities and their corresponding Unicode codepoints. To access these special characters, I use a library function. Further discussion on this topic can be found at my PHP Lab series page on the head() function.
To review the MySQL unicode Table Structure, step back a node.
A usage example:
inserting: ${ent['raquo']} (right angle quote)
returns: » (»)
Using a little more sophisticated SQL query, I can quickly turn a table like this into a Unicode entity/codepoint/character chart. Such as the example below.
