Use the HTML entity ∞ or ∞.

You can use the following:

  • literal: (if the encoding you use can encode it — UTF-8 can, for example)
  • character reference: ∞ (decimal), ∞ (hexadecimal)
  • entity reference: ∞

But whether it is displayed correctly does also depend on the font the text is displayed with.

This does not require a HTML entity if you are using a modern encoding (such as UTF-8). And if you're not already, you probably should be.

Infinity is a reserved character in HTML. Following are its values in various forms.

  • Hex : 8734
  • Decimal : 221E
  • Entity : ∞

To use in html code

<p>The html symbol is &#8734; </p>
<p>The html symbol is &#x221E; </p>
<p>The html symbol is &infin; </p>
