What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are special codes used to represent characters that are reserved in HTML, or that do not have a representation on your keyboard. For example, the less-than symbol (<) is reserved in HTML, so it is represented as&lt;.

Entities are used to display characters that are reserved in HTML, characters that do not have a representation on your keyboard, and characters from international languages.

Common Use Cases

  • Decoding HTML entities in data received from APIs
  • Decoding HTML entities in text stored in databases
  • Fixing incorrectly encoded HTML content
  • Working with legacy systems that use HTML entities
  • Decoding HTML entities in email templates or newsletters
