The columns are as follows:
  1. Actual (ISO 8879 Latin-1 Character Set) Character
  2. Description of the Character
  3. Symbolic HTML Entity (to specify this character by an abbreviation)
  4. Character as Displayed by using the Symbolic HTML Entity
  5. Numeric HTML Entity (to specify this character by it's ASCII value)
  6. Character as Displayed by using the Numeric HTML Entity
