Hmm... Not what I was refering to. But from my research they'd be called HTML entities?

The PHP function htlmentities(string) takes a string an converts to this character coded stylem, eh?

Yeah, but like I said that's not what I was trying to say. I didn't make myself that clear, regretfully. What I meant was what are the names of these types of characters, such as: &nbps, &apos and &#160?
