Modern browsers supported character sets:

ISO-8859-1

ISO-8859-1 is the most browsers default character set.

The lower part of the ISO-8859-1 (from between 1-127 code) is the original ASCII character set (0-9, uppercase and lowercase English alphabet, and some special characters).

The upper part of ISO-8859-1 (codes from 160-255 between) contains some Western European countries use characters and some special characters are widely used, they all have real names.

Most of these symbols can be performed without the use of entity references, but the name of the entity or entities that are not easily numbered provides a method of expression through the keyboard to type symbols.
