Ha, cool. You can even copy and paste those off this page into an email or whatever (on a Mac anyways).

On the other hand. Your form doesnt make any sense.

Its Celsius not Celcius. The temperature degrees are named after a man that was called Celsius not Celcius…
Hmm, nice little list.
Nice – thanks for that one! About 7 years ago I saw an article written in HTML, and there was a huge smiley at the bottom. I was very much surprised that it was not an image, but HTML only and started to learn it
Still – I never stumbled upon information how to create a smiley in HTML, and simply forgot about it. Now I know how to make the thing, which made me learn how to code
Nice list… Should have included some more.
good list cheers
In browser Google Chrome all that symbols are displayed as a spiral, xcept first one, celsius degrees…
Oh, and a smiley face

Thanks for the list! Its very useful. Till date, I was using images for many of these.
BTW, the values for the “peace” and “smiley face” entities are the same as “Hammer and sickle” . Seems like a classic copy & paste error.
I got the correct values from the source code but it would be good if you fix this issue for your future readers.
Thanks again for the list
@scsmash3r – haha very strange, they show up in chrome 5 on ubuntu
@Nikhat – Thanks for that, just updated them, should be right now
