How to draw using html and notepad

Have you ever seen someone draw a person (in this case anime girl) using html before? Now there’s not css involved but a lot of html codes.

I’m impressed the way it was done and I salute the japanese who did it.

Props to William

HTML Character Codes

I always had problems remembering the HTML equivalent special character codes for ², ©, ®, (space), etc. Even the space key has a HTML equivalent code!

Most of this I remember by using the ALT key and typing in the numeric code for it. Example:

ALT + 253 = ²
ALT + 0169 = ©
ALT + 0174 = ®

I remember this by heart because I used to have those as a postfix after my nick in MSN and Yahoo messengers. :P

Sometimes it’s hard to look for this stuff if you don’t know what you’re looking for or the keywords to look for either. Some call it ISO entities, some call it HTML character codes, ASCII codes and so on. It’s confusing alright, but it’s damn right useful.

How to use this in your blog? Ignoring those that are already available on your keyboard, you have to type them into the source code of your post, or HTML like some of you call it. :P

Those web programmers can also use this. :)

Oh, you may want to check out the Character Map program in your Windows XP via Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map

So for convenience sake, I’ll post it up here the ones I found on the Internet. Character codes after the jump.
