675,600 | In writing and typography, a ligature occurs where two or more graphemes or letters are joined to form a single glyph. Examples are the characters æ and œ used in English and French, in which the letters 'a' and 'e' are joined for the first ligature and the letters 'o' and 'e' are joined for the second ligature. For stylistic and legibility reasons, 'f' and 'i' are often merged to create 'fi' (where the tittle on the 'i' merges with the hood of the 'f'); the same is true of 's' and 't' to create 'st' | Ligature (writing) |
675,601 | The backtick ` is a typographical mark used mainly in computing. It is also known as backquote, grave, or grave accent.
The character was designed for typewriters to add a grave accent to a (lower-case) base letter, by overtyping it atop that letter | Backtick |

675,604 | Caret is the name used familiarly for the character ^, (the circumflex and a circumflex accent) provided on most QWERTY keyboards by typing ⇧ Shift+6. The symbol has a variety of uses in programming and mathematics. The name "caret" arose from its visual similarity to the original proofreader's caret, a mark used in proofreading to indicate where a punctuation mark, word, or phrase should be inserted into a document | Caret |
675,605 | The inverted question mark, ¿, and inverted exclamation mark, ¡, are punctuation marks used to begin interrogative and exclamatory sentences or clauses in Spanish and some languages which have cultural ties with Spain, such as Asturian and Waray languages. The initial marks are mirrored at the end of the sentence or clause by the 'ordinary' question mark, ?, or exclamation mark, !.
Inverted marks are supported by various standards, including ISO-8859-1, Unicode, and HTML | Inverted question and exclamation marks |
675,606 | Guillemets (, also UK: , US: , French: [ɡijəmɛ]) are a pair of punctuation marks in the form of sideways double chevrons, « and », used as quotation marks in a number of languages.

675,619 | A macron () is a diacritical mark: it is a straight bar ¯ placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from Ancient Greek μακρόν (makrón) 'long' because it was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel | Macron (diacritic) |
675,620 | The dash is a punctuation mark consisting of a long horizontal line. It is similar in appearance to the hyphen but is longer and sometimes higher from the baseline. The most common versions are the en dash –, generally longer than the hyphen but shorter than the minus sign; the em dash —, longer than either the en dash or the minus sign; and the horizontal bar ―, whose length varies across typefaces but tends to be between those of the en and em dashes | Dash |
675,621 | Mu (uppercase Μ, lowercase μ; Ancient Greek μῦ [mŷː], Greek: μι or μυ—both [mi]) is the twelfth letter of the Greek alphabet, representing the voiced bilabial nasal IPA: [m].

675,624 | In word processing and digital typesetting, a nonbreaking space ( ), also called NBSP, required space, hard space, or fixed space (it is not of fixed width), is a space character that prevents an automatic line break at its position. In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive whitespace characters from collapsing into a single space. Nonbreaking space characters with other widths also exist | Non-breaking space |
675,625 | The dash is a punctuation mark consisting of a long horizontal line. It is similar in appearance to the hyphen but is longer and sometimes higher from the baseline. The most common versions are the en dash –, generally longer than the hyphen but shorter than the minus sign; the em dash —, longer than either the en dash or the minus sign; and the horizontal bar ―, whose length varies across typefaces but tends to be between those of the en and em dashes | Dash |
675,626 | A newline (frequently called line ending, end of line (EOL), next line (NEL) or line break) is a control character or sequence of control characters in character encoding specifications such as ASCII, EBCDIC, Unicode, etc. This character, or a sequence of characters, is used to signify the end of a line of text and the start of a new one.
History
In the mid-1800s, long before the advent of teleprinters and teletype machines, Morse code operators or telegraphists invented and used Morse code prosigns to encode white space text formatting in formal written text messages | Newline |
675,627 | The word joiner (WJ) is a Unicode format character which is used to indicate that line breaking should not occur at its position. It does not affect the formation of ligatures or cursive joining and is ignored for the purpose of text segmentation. It is encoded since Unicode version 3 | Word joiner |

In some formats, including HTML, it also prevents consecutive whitespace characters from collapsing into a single space. Nonbreaking space characters with other widths also exist | Non-breaking space |
675,630 | In logic, negation, also called the logical not or logical complement, is an operation that takes a proposition
P
{\displaystyle P}
to another proposition "not
P
{\displaystyle P}
", standing for "
P
{\displaystyle P}
is not true", written
¬
P
{\displaystyle \neg P}
,
∼
P
{\displaystyle {\mathord {\sim }}P}
or
P
¯
{\displaystyle {\overline {P}}}
. It is interpreted intuitively as being true when
P
{\displaystyle P}
is false, and false when
P
{\displaystyle P}
is true. Negation is thus a unary logical connective | Negation |
675,631 | The symbol # is known variously in English-speaking regions as the number sign, hash, or pound sign. The symbol has historically been used for a wide range of purposes including the designation of an ordinal number and as a ligatured abbreviation for pounds avoirdupois – having been derived from the now-rare ℔. Since 2007, widespread usage of the symbol to introduce metadata tags on social media platforms has led to such tags being known as "hashtags", and from that, the symbol itself is sometimes called a hashtag | Number sign |
675,632 | In written languages, an ordinal indicator is a character, or group of characters, following a numeral denoting that it is an ordinal number, rather than a cardinal number. In English orthography, this corresponds to the suffixes -st, -nd, -rd, -th in written ordinals (represented either on the line 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or as superscript, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th).
Also commonly encountered are the superscript or superior (and often underlined) masculine ordinal indicator, º, and feminine ordinal indicator, ª, originally from Romance and then via the cultural influence of Italian, as in 1º primo and 1ª prima | Ordinal indicator |

675,635 | The percent sign % (sometimes per cent sign in British English) is the symbol used to indicate a percentage, a number or ratio as a fraction of 100. Related signs include the permille (per thousand) sign ‰ and the permyriad (per ten thousand) sign ‱ (also known as a basis point), which indicate that a number is divided by one thousand or ten thousand, respectively. Higher proportions use parts-per notation | Percent sign |
675,636 | The full stop (Commonwealth English), period (North American English), or full point . is a punctuation mark. It is used for several purposes, most often to mark the end of a declarative sentence (as distinguished from a question or exclamation) | Full stop |
675,637 | The plus sign + and the minus sign − are mathematical symbols used to represent the notions of positive and negative, respectively. In addition, + represents the operation of addition, which results in a sum, while − represents subtraction, resulting in a difference. Their use has been extended to many other meanings, more or less analogous | Plus and minus signs |
675,638 | The plus–minus sign, ±, is a mathematical symbol with multiple meanings:
In mathematics, it generally indicates a choice of exactly two possible values, one of which is obtained through addition and the other through subtraction.
In experimental sciences, the sign commonly indicates the confidence interval or uncertainty bounding a range of possible errors in a measurement, often the standard deviation or standard error. The sign may also represent an inclusive range of values that a reading might have | Plus–minus sign |

675,641 | The pound sign £ is the symbol for the pound unit of sterling – the currency of the United Kingdom and previously of Great Britain and of the Kingdom of England. The same symbol is used for other currencies called pound, such as the Gibraltar, Egyptian, Manx and Syrian pounds. The sign may be drawn with one or two bars depending on personal preference, but the Bank of England has used the one-bar style exclusively on banknotes since 1975 | Pound sign |
675,642 | The question mark ? (also known as interrogation point, query, or eroteme in journalism) is a punctuation mark that indicates an interrogative clause or phrase in many languages.
History
In the fifth century, Syriac Bible manuscripts used question markers, according to a 2011 theory by manuscript specialist Chip Coakley: he believes the zagwa elaya ("upper pair"), a vertical double dot over a word at the start of a sentence, indicates that the sentence is a question.
From around 783, in Godescalc Evangelistary, a mark described as "a lightning flash, striking from right to left" is attested | Question mark |
675,643 | Quotation marks are punctuation marks used in pairs in various writing systems to set off direct speech, a quotation, or a phrase.

675,659 | In computing and typesetting, a soft hyphen (ISO 8859: 0xAD, Unicode U+00AD SOFT HYPHEN, HTML: ­ or ­ or ­) or syllable hyphen (EBCDIC: 0xCA), abbreviated SHY, is a code point reserved in some coded character sets for the purpose of breaking words across lines by inserting visible hyphens if they are fall on the line end but remain invisible within the line.
Two alternative ways of using the soft hyphen character for this purpose have emerged, depending on whether the encoded text will be broken into lines by its recipient, or has already been preformatted by its originator.
Text to be formatted by the recipient
The use of SHY characters in text that will be broken into lines by the recipient is the application context considered by the post-1999 HTML and Unicode specifications, as well as some word-processing file formats | Soft hyphen |
675,660 | The slash is the oblique slanting line punctuation mark /. Also known as a stroke, a solidus, a forward slash or several other historical or technical names including oblique and virgule.

The letter-name Eszett combines the names of the letters of ⟨s⟩ (Es) and ⟨z⟩ (Zett) in German. The character's Unicode names in English are sharp s and eszett | ß |
675,665 | The tab key Tab ↹ (abbreviation of tabulator key or tabular key) on a keyboard is used to advance the cursor to the next tab stop.
History
The word tab derives from the word tabulate, which means "to arrange data in a tabular, or table, form. " When a person wanted to type a table (of numbers or text) on a typewriter, there was a lot of time-consuming and repetitive use of the space bar and backspace key | Tab key |
675,666 | Diacritical marks of two dots ¨, placed side-by-side over or under a letter, are used in a number of languages for several different purposes.

675,673 | Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the information in web pages and web applications rather than merely to define its presentation or look. Semantic HTML is processed by traditional web browsers as well as by many other user agents. CSS is used to suggest its presentation to human users | Semantic HTML |
675,674 | Microdata is a WHATWG HTML specification used to nest metadata within existing content on web pages. Search engines, web crawlers, and browsers can extract and process Microdata from a web page and use it to provide a richer browsing experience for users. Search engines benefit greatly from direct access to this structured data because it allows them to understand the information on web pages and provide more relevant results to users | Microdata (HTML) |
675,675 | Microformats (μF) are a set of defined HTML classes created to serve as consistent and descriptive metadata about an element, designating it as representing a certain type of data (such as contact information, geographic coordinates, events, blog posts, products, recipes, etc. ). They allow software to process the information reliably by having set classes refer to a specific type of data rather than being arbitrary | Microformat |
675,676 | The Opera Show Format (OSF) is a set of conventions used in a web page using XHTML 1. 0 Strict and CSS 2. 1 | Opera Show Format |
675,677 | RDFa or Resource Description Framework in Attributes is a W3C Recommendation that adds a set of attribute-level extensions to HTML, XHTML and various XML-based document types for embedding rich metadata within Web documents. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) data-model mapping enables its use for embedding RDF subject-predicate-object expressions within XHTML documents. It also enables the extraction of RDF model triples by compliant user agents | RDFa |
675,678 | S5 (Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System) is an XHTML-based file format for defining slideshows. It was created by Eric A. Meyer as an alternative to the browser-centric Opera Show Format | S5 (file format) |
675,679 | Schema. org is a reference website that publishes documentation and guidelines for using structured data mark-up on web-pages (called microdata). Its main objective is to standardize HTML tags to be used by webmasters for creating rich results (displayed as visual data or infographic tables on search engine results) about a certain topic of interest | Schema.org |
675,680 | In the semantic web, Simple HTML Ontology Extensions are a small set of HTML extensions designed to give web pages semantic meaning by allowing information such as class, subclass and property relationships.
SHOE was developed around 1996 by Sean Luke, Lee Spector, James Hendler, Jeff Heflin, and David Rager at the University of Maryland, College Park.

675,681 | XHTML Friends Network (XFN) is an HTML microformat developed by Global Multimedia Protocols Group that provides a simple way to represent human relationships using links. XFN enables web authors to indicate relationships to the people in their blogrolls by adding one or more keywords as the rel attribute to their links. XFN was the first microformat, introduced in December 2003 | XHTML Friends Network |
675,682 | XOXO (eXtensible Open XHTML Outlines) for web syndication is an XML microformat for outlines built on top of XHTML. Developed by several authors as an attempt to reuse XHTML building blocks instead of inventing unnecessary new XML elements/attributes, XOXO is based on existing conventions for publishing outlines, lists, and blogrolls on the Web.
The XOXO specification defines an outline as a hierarchical, ordered list of arbitrary elements | XOXO (microformat) |
675,683 | An HTML element is a type of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) document component, one of several types of HTML nodes (there are also text nodes, comment nodes and others). The first used version of HTML was written by Tim Berners-Lee in 1993 and there have since been many versions of HTML. The most commonly used version is HTML 4 | HTML element |
675,684 | HTML5 Article is a HTML5 semantic element, similar to <section> and <header>. It is most commonly used to contain information that may be distributed independently from the rest of the site or application it appears in.
Features and usage
The HTML5 <article> element represents a complete composition in a web page or web application that is independently distributable or reusable, e | Article element |
675,685 | HTML5 Audio is a subject of the HTML5 specification, incorporating audio input, playback, and synthesis, as well as , in the browser. iOS
<audio> element
The <audio> element represents a sound, or an audio stream. It is commonly used to play back a single audio file within a web page, showing a GUI widget with play/pause/volume controls | HTML5 audio |
675,686 | The blink element is a non-standard HTML element that indicates to a user agent (generally a web browser) that the page author intends the content of the element to blink (that is, alternate between being visible and invisible). The element was introduced in Netscape Navigator but is no longer supported and often ignored by modern Web browsers; some, such as Internet Explorer, never supported the element at all. Despite its initial popularity among home users in the 1990s, it fell out of favor due to its overuse and the difficulty it presents in reading | Blink element |
675,687 | In HTML , XHTML and MediaWiki, the blockquote element defines "a section [within a document] that is quoted from another source". The syntax is
<blockquote><p>blockquoted text goes here</p></blockquote>.
The blockquote element is used to indicate the quotation of a large section of text from another source | Blockquote element |
675,688 | The canvas element is part of HTML5 and allows for dynamic, scriptable rendering of 2D shapes and bitmap images. It is a low level, procedural model that updates a bitmap. HTML5 Canvas also helps in making 2D games | Canvas element |
675,689 | In HTML, div and span tags are elements used to define parts of a document, so that they are identifiable when a unique classification is necessary. Where other HTML elements such as p (paragraph), em (emphasis), and so on, accurately represent the semantics of the content, the additional use of span and div tags leads to better accessibility for readers and easier maintainability for authors. Where no existing HTML element is applicable, span and div can valuably represent parts of a document so that HTML attributes such as class, id, lang, or dir can be applied | Div and span |
675,690 | An HTML element is a type of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) document component, one of several types of HTML nodes (there are also text nodes, comment nodes and others). The first used version of HTML was written by Tim Berners-Lee in 1993 and there have since been many versions of HTML. The most commonly used version is HTML 4 | HTML element |
675,691 | A webform, web form or HTML form on a web page allows a user to enter data that is sent to a server for processing. Forms can resemble paper or database forms because web users fill out the forms using checkboxes, radio buttons, or text fields. For example, forms can be used to enter shipping or credit card data to order a product, or can be used to retrieve search results from a search engine | HTML form |
675,692 | HTML landmarks are used to categorize and group content on a web page for better accessibility and SEO.
Sectioning elements
HTML5 included the addition of the following content sectioning elements, which inherit default landmark roles:
Landmark roles
The role attribute is used to define an element's role on a page. When sectioning elements were introduced, the role attribute became used less for landmarking | HTML landmarks |
675,693 | Layers were the core of a method of dynamic HTML programming specific to Netscape 4. Each layer was treated as a separate document object in JavaScript. The content could be included in the same file within the non-standard layer element (or any other element with the positioning set to "absolute" via CSS) or loaded from a separate file with <layer src="URL"> or <div src="URL"> | Layer element |
675,694 | The marquee tag is a non-standard HTML element which causes text to scroll up, down, left or right automatically. The tag was first introduced in early versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and was compared to Netscape's blink element, as a proprietary non-standard extension to the HTML standard with usability problems. The W3C advises against its use in HTML documents | Marquee element |
675,695 | Meta elements are tags used in HTML and XHTML documents to provide structured metadata about a Web page.
They are part of a web page's head section. Multiple Meta elements with different attributes can be used on the same page | Meta element |
675,696 | A table cell is one grouping within a chart table used for storing information or data. Cells are grouped horizontally (rows of cells) and vertically (columns of cells). Each cell contains information relating to the combination of the row and column headings it is collinear with | Table cell |
675,697 | The HTML5 specification introduced the video element for the purpose of playing videos, partially replacing the object element. HTML5 video is intended by its creators to become the new standard way to show video on the web, instead of the previous de facto standard of using the proprietary Adobe Flash plugin, though early adoption was hampered by lack of agreement as to which video coding formats and audio coding formats should be supported in web browsers. As of 2020, HTML5 video is the only widely supported video playback technology in modern browsers, with the Flash plugin being phased out | HTML5 video |
