Character entities, like escape codes, allow you to insert characters even if you cannot type them in directly. Simply insert the code where you want the character to appear.
note: Letter codes are case-sensitive.
Avoid using the number codes; they are not very portable. Also, if there's a problem with the letter codes, at least the reader can guess at what's supposed to be there.
