The view below displays the characters used in the official W3C HTML and XHTML specifications in readable form,  including previews of the actual characters. Mind you not all user agents (browsers) support all characters. Microsoft Internet Explorer™ for example often displays “squares” for non-supported entities. There's even something really weird with the ' entity in IE, I'm still investigating that.

Also we can encode and decode the target characters in code-behide with C#:

    System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("....");  
    System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode("....");

 

Also we can use following functions to encode and decode the text through javascript:

function htmlEncode(value){
  //create a in-memory div, set it's inner text(which jQuery automatically encodes)
  //then grab the encoded contents back out.  The div never exists on the page.
  return $('<div/>').text(value).html();
}

function htmlDecode(value){
  return $('<div/>').html(value).text();
}

On the htmlEncode function I set the innerText of the element, and retrieve the encoded innerHTML, on the htmlDecode function I set the innerHTML value of the element and the innerText is retrieved.
