Frequently Asked Questions
HTML entities are special codes used to represent characters that have special meaning in HTML (like <, >, &) or characters not easily typed on a keyboard. They start with & and end with ; โ for example, < represents the < character.
Use HTML entities when you need to display reserved HTML characters in web pages (like < > & " '), when embedding special symbols, or when you need to ensure text displays correctly across all browsers and platforms.
Named entities use descriptive names (e.g., & for &), while numeric entities use the character's Unicode code point (e.g., & for &). Named entities are more readable, but numeric entities support all Unicode characters.
