Alguna vez me he encontrado gente que defiende el uso de las entidades de car\u00e1cter, como á y €, para que una p\u00e1gina se vea bien en cualquier ordenador, aqu\u00ed y en la China. Pues no.<\/p>\n
En la actualidad no son necesarias las entidades de car\u00e1cter si se emplea el juego de caracteres adecuado. Todo se soluciona utilizando UTF8 (o UTF-8, utf8, utf-8 y alguna otra forma m\u00e1s de escribirlo), que es el juego de caracteres recomendado por el W3C en el art\u00edculo\u00a0Choosing & applying a character encoding<\/a>:<\/p>\n Choose UTF-8 for all content and consider converting any content in legacy encodings to UTF-8.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Adem\u00e1s, en\u00a0Using character escapes in markup and CSS<\/a>, se responde lo siguiente a\u00a0la pregunta “How can I use character escapes in markup and CSS, and when should I use or not use them?”:<\/p>\n Because you should use UTF-8 for the character encoding of the page, you won’t normally need to use character escapes.<\/p>\n It is almost always preferable to use an encoding that allows you to represent characters in their normal form, rather than using named character references or numeric character references.<\/p>\n Using escapes can make it difficult to read and maintain source code, and can also significantly increase file size.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
