This essay lists codes for keyboard characters, the computer code values for common characters, such as the Unicode or HTML entity codes (see below: Table of HTML values"). There are also key chord combinations, such as keying an en dash ('–') by holding ALT+0150 on the numeric keypad of MS Windows computers. The HTML codes can be used where a literal character could cause trouble, such as using code "[" or "]" to show the left or right square bracket ('[' or ']'). Some editors, upon seeing a single bracket '[' at a word will edit a page to put double-bracket '[[' as thinking a single bracket must be an obvious typo of a wp:wikilink, but an HTML code of "[" is likely to be less trouble.

Note that only common codes are shown here, among the 249,000+ characters already officially in the Unicode character set's 1.1 million possible codes.

Some common codes change

There are some character codes used very often, such as curly braces, square brackets, or Greek letters:

Curly braces and brackets: {= { |= | }= } [= [ ]= ] (url bar %7C= | )
Dashes: –= – (url %E2%80%93) —= —
Upper Greek letters (start 913): Α=Α #914=Β #915=Γ #916=Δ #920=Θ #923=Λ #931=Σ #937=Ω
Lower Greek letters (start 945): α=α #946=β #947=γ #948=δ #952=θ #955=λ #963=σ #969=ω
Punctuation/symbols: "= " '= ' #= # (hashmark) *= * (asterisk)
Signs: <= < >= > →= → (right arrow) ←= ← (left arrow)

After repeated usage, it becomes easier to remember the codes. In some cases, codes could be replaced with the literal characters, such as copied from the copy/paste symbols during editing (see symbols: wp:PASTE).
