The WordPress editor also has another section next to the visual editor namely text editor where you can edit the HTML code of your web page. Each character has an HTML entity number assigned to it. So, you can add any of the characters using their HTML entities. The HTML entities are very similar to the real names of those characters, thus making it very easy to remember. Some examples of the HTML entities are given below:

  • © = ©
  • ™ = ™
  • ® = ®
