- HTML entities are special character representations used to display symbols, accented letters, and reserved characters that cannot be directly typed or have special meaning in HTML.
- Entities are written in a special way to avoid conflicts with HTML syntax. For example, the less-than symbol (<) must be encoded as < to prevent the browser from interpreting it as the start of an HTML tag.
- Named entities use descriptive names preceded by an ampersand and followed by a semicolon, such as © for the copyright symbol (©) or ♥ for the heart symbol (♥).
- Decimal entities use the format &#DECIMAL; where DECIMAL is the Unicode code point number. For example, © represents the copyright symbol (©).
- Both formats (named and decimal) represent the same character and can be used interchangeably depending on your preference and encoding needs.
