There were not in https://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080122/#entities0 They are in the following, which could probably be considered to be HTML 5.0, from 2014: https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/PR-html5-20140916/syntax.html#named-character-references and in HTML 5.1 https://www.w3.org/TR/2015/WD-html51-20151008/syntax.html#named-character-references > Is there any information available anywhere > on browser support? On https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_html_entities_a.asp Older browsers may not support all the HTML5 entities in the table below. Chrome and Opera have good support, and IE 11+ and Firefox 35+ support all the entities. According to wikipedia, IE11 was released on October 17, 2013, and Firefox 35 on January 13, 2015. -- Pat
