https://www.prepressure.com/fonts/basic ... circumflexBelow is an overview of 85 frequently used characters, punctuation symbols or signs that are included in most fonts. These include punctuation marks and other symbols used in typography. Technically these character shapes are called glyphs. Next to each glyph name the Unicode and HTML entity are listed, as well as the ASCII code and HTML entity if these are available. I also listed the Windows ALT keystroke or the Mac equivalent that can be used to insert the character in a text.
The typeface used for most examples is Arial Bold. Small lines indicate the baseline, x-height, and the ascender and descender heights.
