Infinity symbol with HTML

Question

How can I display an infinity symbol (like the one in the picture) using HTML?

Answer 1

Use the HTML entity ∞ or ∞.

Answer 2

You can use the following:

• literal: ∞ (if the encoding you use can encode it — UTF-8 can, for example)
• character reference: ∞ (decimal), ∞ (hexadecimal)
• entity reference: ∞

But whether it is displayed correctly does also depend on the font the text is displayed with.

Answer 3

∞

This does not require a HTML entity if you are using a modern encoding (such as UTF-8). And if you're not already, you probably should be.

Answer 4

From Wikipedia:

∞ 

Answer 5

According to List of XML and HTML character entity references:

∞ 

The Google search using your original question gets several useful results: How can I display an infinity symbol using HTML.

Answer 6

∞ ∞

Answer 7

According to this page, it's ∞.

Answer 8

Like ЯegDwight said, you can use the HTML entity &infin; or ∞. A easy source of getting these codes, is to look at this entity list.

You can also use them in CSS, which was what I was looking for, just like font-awesome does. A simple CSS based solution would be to have something like:

.infinity-ico:before {     content: '\221E'; } 

Answer 9

Infinity is a reserved character in HTML. Following are its values in various forms.

• Hex : 8734
• Decimal : 221E
• Entity : ∞

To use in html code

<p>The html symbol is &#8734; </p>  <p>The html symbol is &#x221E; </p>  <p>The html symbol is &infin; </p>
