I'm not sure there is such a list, but its easy enough to work out - it is
any character which has special meaning in HTML.

So:

& - anywhere
< - except in attribute values
" - inside attribute values delimited with " characters
' - inside attribute values delimited with ' characters

They can, of course, be represented by their respective entities.
