These character entities are meant to make it easier to incorporate non-ASCII (Unicode's Basic Latin script) characters into webpages. The text in the Entity column, in web pages, is displayed as the text in the Symbol column by HTML 4.0-compatible web browsers. This method of representing non-Basic Latin text is being phased out in favor of Unicode.
