The table below shows the effect of  numeric ampersand entities on your browser.  &AMP entities can be used to augment the ASCII character set. 
&AMP is the code for the ampersand    http://www.unifon.com/latin-1.html
 

&#nnn; Alt+øNNN

To use these characters in your own HTML files, replace the "nnn" with the appropriate number from the list below (e.g. © for the copyright sign ©). 

These special characters can be accessed in Word using e.g., Alt 0169 for ©
The insert symbol table lists all of the short cuts.

HTML 2.0 and later permit the use of some non-numeric special characters shown in parentheses in the column on the right. ©= ©

(These are the only non-numeric character entities defined in HTML 2.0, except for &amp;,&lt;, and &gt;, which should be used to escape the characters & <> in an HTML file, and &quot; to escape a double-quote character in an attribute value.)

Probably the most useful &amp entity is &nbsp;(&#160) This will insert 1 pixel of space between any two characters or between an image and a character. In the Netscape Communicator editor, pushing the spacebar inserts  this entity. In this HTML editor, the [ENTER] key inserts a  <BR>  command which is identical to a breaking space &#32. Netscape Communicator does not support other &ampersand entities. To insert them, go to Edit/HTML source. [Alt EH]. Using Word 2000, simplyuse the symbol matrix.

With Latin 1 there are enough characters to support phonemic writing systems. Icelandic, for instance, retains all the characters used in the West Saxon  Standard, the last consistent alphabet used for English.  By using this augmented roman character set, e.g., using accented letters to indicate short or long vowels, all 12 pure vowels could be referenced without resorting to digraphs such as ae, ee, ie, oe, ue in New Spelling.   writing systems
