Common Uses for HTML Entities

HTML entities are useful when displaying reserved characters, mathematical notation, accented characters, currency symbols, punctuation, and other characters in HTML documents. They can also make special markup characters explicit in source code.

Important Notes

• Use the entity form that matches the character and encoding requirements of your page.
• Keep HTML documents served with an appropriate character encoding, normally UTF-8.
• Review generated or copied entity references before publishing them.
• This page is a reference table; it does not automatically modify your HTML source.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HTML entity?

An HTML entity is a named or numeric representation used to express a character in HTML.

What is the difference between an entity name and an entity number?

An entity name uses a named reference, while an entity number uses a numeric character reference. The tables above show the available forms in the source reference.

Where can I find the HTML degree symbol?

The ISO-8859-1 Symbols section includes the degree character and its entity reference.

Does this page include ASCII characters?

Yes. The reference includes printable ASCII characters with their character codes and descriptions.

Does this page include math and Greek symbols?

Yes. Separate sections provide HTML math symbols and Greek letters with their entity names and numeric references.

Can I copy these entities into my HTML?

Yes. Copy the relevant named or numeric reference from the table and place it in your HTML source where the character is needed.
