Hyper-Text Markup Language (HTML) "marks up" plain text into headings, paragraphs and other elements associated with Web pages. Unless you set your website to display a character set other than ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1), you need special codes to display characters other than basic Latin letters and numbers. You can place these codes anywhere on the page, including within text boxes. Set the "value" attribute of an "" tag to your desired text and convert special characters to their matching HTML special character codes to display them in text boxes.
Instructions
1. Open your HTML file in a code editor or in Notepad. Write HTML code to create a text box where you will place the special characters. Wrap the text box in "" tags and place label text beside the text box. Here is the code for a simple text box with a label:

Match the value of "for" in the "" tag to the value of "name" in the "" tag. Place your label on either side of the text box.
2. Add a "value" attribute to your "" tag. Set "value" to the text you want to display inside the text box like this:

3. Click the "Start" button on your Windows taskbar and type "Character Map" into the search bar. Press "Enter" to load "Character Map" and find your first special character. Find the "Keystroke" code in the lower right-hand corner of the "Character Map" window and replace "Alt+0" with "&#" to convert it into an HTML special character code. End the code with a semicolon.
4. Replace each special character in the "" tag's "value" attribute to its HTML special character code equivalent. The result will look like this:
