What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are codes used to represent characters that have special meaning in HTML or characters that don't appear on standard keyboards. For example, the less-than sign (<) is represented as < and the copyright symbol (©) as ©.

Why Use HTML Entities?

HTML entities are essential for:

  • Displaying reserved characters like <, >, and & in HTML
  • Showing special symbols like ©, ®, and € that might not display correctly in all browsers
  • Security purposes to prevent XSS attacks by encoding user input
  • Ensuring consistent display across different browsers and devices
