HTML5 Unicode character Codes

HTML along with most browsers have support for adding Unicode characters with an simple code. There are times that I find that they’re useful. Some are named but most aren’t named. Last year I switched to just copy and pasting the Unicode symbol but for the longest time I used these codes or the entity if it was available.
