Automating converting special characters into html entities. Can anyone id this character?

What is this character †
Is there anyway to convert such characters automatically to their html entities? I use DreamWeaver and Notepad++. I've tried this site but it's no where near powerful enough.

I used the HTML plugin for notepad++. If you go to plugins > plugins manager and open it and select the HTML plugin. From then on you can select the text you're interested in then go to plugins>html tags> decode or encode.

If you're using Dreamweaver you can write in a & in the code view and it opens a nifty little window which lets you scroll trough entities in a list; also in the design view it automatically converts input to it's entity by default in the code.

This site simply takes a character and gives you its unicode, utf-8 representation and html entity.

Do not write your own conversion table.

Use encodeURIComponent
