This is a comprehensive list of the characters supported by Discover Life. Unless otherwise specified in the Help section, specifically when using <link> tags in the IDnature guides, please use these characters when creating IDnature guides, submitting data, or in any file transferred to Discover Life.

Below are two tables. The first lists accents and symbols that you can put on Discover Life by using the code given at the left. For example, to put a Σ (the Greek capital letter sigma) use the code &#931; (i. e., ampersand pound nine three one semicolon) in your text.

The second table lists standard letters and characters. To display these, use the character, not its code. Do not use codes with values between 32-159. For example, while &#32; is a space, do not use this code. Simply put a space.
