The full list of HTML character entity references can be found at the following URL:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html.

There are a total of 253 HTML character entity references, ranging from codepoints U+0022 to U+2666.

Static methods to and strings and single characters can be found in the CharacterReference superclass.

The CharacterEntityReference._apos ' entity reference is not defined for use in HTML. It is defined in the XHTML Special Characters Entity Set, and is the only one that is not included in both HTML and XHTML. For this reason, the ' entity reference is recognised by this library in decoding functions, but in encoding functions the numeric character reference ' is used instead. Most modern browsers support it in both XHTML and HTML, with the notable exception of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, which doesn't support it in either.

CharacterEntityReference instances are obtained using one of the following methods:

• CharacterReference.parse(CharSequence characterReferenceText)
• Source.findNextCharacterReference(int pos)
• Source.findPreviousCharacterReference(int pos)
• Segment.findAllCharacterReferences
