Popular Character Entities
The character entity references in this section produce characters whose numeric equivalents should already be supported by conforming HTML 2.0 user agents. Thus, the character entity reference ÷ is a more convenient form than ÷ for obtaining the division sign (÷).
To support these named entities, user agents need only recognize the entity names and convert them to characters that lie within the repertoire of [ISO88591].
