NOTE: In order to 'Nest' lists (see lower-greek above), the First set of li are Not terminated </li>, then the nested li's are, then, close the the Second (nested or sub-list) /ul /ol then close the First set of /li and /ol or /ul

<ul style="list-style-image: uri('../images/dlf/real.gif'); font-size:10px;>

also see at w3schools

this th to the above image... is it there? Yep, so path is good.
** OK... here is the 'right' syntax for image: < li style="list-style-image: url('../images/dlf/real.gif'); " >

I swear... I've looked at 3 diff place at w3c.org and all three have diff syntex. No quotes, single and then double quotes... also 3 other sites, w3schools.com, css3.com and some other site found at top of search at bing.com...
Not one worked.
My above example Obviously works! F* them.... 'uri' ONLY works, sometimes if in head style or attached stylesheet. Not in inline style. for inline style use the tried and true 'url'

Table of printable Latin-1 Hex Character codes

some pretty cool 'icon' type

Unicode U2600 characters (pdf):
[cup'a joe?] ♨ (utf-8) - ♨ (hex - &#x2668;)

this expand / collapse (hidden / unhidden, hide / unhide, visibility:hidden / visible, show / hide) <div> is very simple..
i put the code in my CSS Snippets page

Character Converters:

Unicode ☡ ~ Hex (&#x2621;, ☡) conversion form: {here}

a really Good and complete character converter.. All encodings.

a couple more sites that have 'lookup' chart/form for characters by number
utf-8 - chartable.de
dev.networkerror.org , build charts to 10,000 characters

glyph (glĭf)

noun: A symbol, such as a stylized figure or arrow on a public sign, that imparts information nonverbally.

emoticon [смайлы (smiles)] :
e·mo·ti·con (ĭ-mō'tĭ-kŏn')
noun: A sideways facial glyph used in e-mail to indicate an emotion or attitude, as to indicate intended humor [ :-) ].

*New :  ♪ Musical Notes..♫

08.06.11:
Add 'musical notes' to the 'special characters section... you have a rough draft txt doc in ? /Language {programing}/css/ I think.. Landis

*note: how i made this 'post-it' and Much more on it and about it, margins, borders, shadows, position, radius, transparentcy
even rotation can be found on my css tips page

Character Set Encoding Definitions:

these are the sets used in the head > meta section of 'web documents'.

these sets are used in the html (php, xml) page 'head' > <meta> definitions:
examples:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
(utf-x are universal unicode set)
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
(iso-8859-x are international region specific sets)
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=windows-1259-1>
(windows-1259-x are Microsucks Windows specific sets)

MS Windows Character Sets

These are character sets specific to Windows. They are similar, but not equal, to the ISO 8859 character sets. While ISO 8859 character sets do not specify characters in the 128..159 range, the Windows character sets do. Characters in the 0..127 range are identical to US-ASCII. Most but not all of the character assignments in the 160..255 range are the same as in ISO 8859.

Declaring character sets in XML

Every XML document or external parsed entity or external DTD must begin with an XML or text declaration like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

In the encoding attribute, you must declare the character set you will use for the rest of the document. You should use the IANA/MIME-Code from the table above.

Declaring character sets in HTML

In the head of an HTML document you should declare the character set you use for the document:

you Must declare the document type Before the head. the only thing that can be, before this is server side includes such a php or asp. list of Doc Types at W3C and list of encoding, CharSet at W3C

example: <?php include '../header.html'; ?>

for HTML5 which as of 04.2013 is not completely implemented, but it's what I have been writting to, updating 2,200 pages on this site alone, sucks!

<!DocType HTML>

<html>

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
( that's it! ) (fyi, this is the Only thing that the duh's at w3c have made 'easier', cleaner in html5 and css3).

*note: i personally put the character encodeing declaration Above the 'Title' tag so i can use utf-8 (unicode) in the title. if you look at my title, you'll see things like '☡' i use as Landis2 and ♨ as well as Русский, Russian Cyrillic character, none of which would be posible without utf-8 being declaired first. hence the old method of using &#characters... just sayin'

these days, because of the way i 'include' my head elements in a header page then call it into pages with
<?php ' '; ?> code, the 'Title' tag come long after the charset. the common head elements are in header0x.html and are included into page0x.php, and each page0x.php needs it's own 'Title'.. blah, blah...

for HTML 4 / 4.1

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

My prefered Character Set is UTF-8, a collection of Unicode character sets which make it more 'internationalized' vs windows or iso's 'reginal' 125x sets

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

for windows crap, which will mess up pages written in a utf-8 editor

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
...
</head><body>

Without this declaration (and, BTW, without an additional DOCTYPE declaration), the W3C Validator will not be able to validate your HTML document.

IANA Character Set definitions

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) maintains a list of character sets and codes for them. This list is:

IANA-CHARSETS Official Names for Character Sets, http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets

preceding 3 tables by: Stefan Heymann. Last Update 2009-07-05

this is code from the original 1992 C+ coding of UTF-8... why i've included it here:
i was reading through the code and it took me a few looks to 'convince myself' the Tx's are all the same size..
just found it interesting, like one of those pieces of 'art' that mess with your eyes using perspective... that's it..

}

We define 7 byte types:
T0	0xxxxxxx	7 free bits
Tx	10xxxxxx	6 free bits
T1	110xxxxx	5 free bits
T2	1110xxxx	4 free bits
T3	11110xxx	3 free bits
T4	111110xx	2 free bits
T5	111111xx	2 free bits

Encoding is as follows.
>From hex	Thru hex	Sequence		Bits
00000000	0000007f	T0			7
00000080	000007FF	T1 Tx			11
00000800	0000FFFF	T2 Tx Tx		16
00010000	001FFFFF	T3 Tx Tx Tx		21
00200000	03FFFFFF	T4 Tx Tx Tx Tx		26
04000000	FFFFFFFF	T5 Tx Tx Tx Tx Tx	32
