HTML supports thousands of symbols — mathematical operators, currency signs, arrows, emojis, and more.
These can be written with named entities (like €) or
numeric references (₹ / ₹).

- UTF-8 allows you to paste symbols directly in HTML, but entities improve compatibility.
- Emoji rendering depends on device and OS fonts.
