Unsupported ISO Character Entities

Here's the reality; the HTML 4.0 specification contains a ton of different character entity specifications, including some fun ones like ♥ for a small heart symbol, but they're not supported in the current version of the different web browsers. Will they be supported in the future? I don't know, but I will say that if you view the following material and you see Greek characters, mathematical symbols, etc, you're doing great! If not, your browser doesn't yet support these particular symbols.

Named entities for symbols, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters

The named character entities in this section produce characters that may be represented by glyphs in the widely available Adobe Symbol font, including Greek characters, various bracketing symbols, and a selection of mathematical operators such as gradient, product, and summation symbols.

To support these entities, user agents may support full ISO 10646 or use other means. Display of glyphs for these characters may be obtained by being able to display the relevant characters or by other means, such as internally mapping the listed entities, numeric character references, and characters to the appropriate position in some font that contains the requisite glyphs.

When to use Greek entities: This entity set contains all the letters used in modern Greek. However, it does not include Greek punctuation, precomposed accented characters nor the non-spacing accents (tonos, dialytika) required to compose them. There are no archaic letters, Coptic-unique letters, or precomposed letters for Polytonic Greek. The entities defined here are not intended for the representation of modern Greek text and would not be an efficient representation; rather, they are intended for occasional Greek letters used in technical and mathematical works.

Mathematical, Greek and Symbolic characters for HTML

Relevant ISO entity set is given unless names are newly introduced. New names (i.e., not in ISO 8879 list) do not clash with any existing ISO 8879 entity names. ISO 10646 character numbers are given for each character, in hex. CDATA values are decimal conversions of the ISO 10646 values and refer to the document character set. Names are Unicode 2.0 names.
