What are HTML Entities?

HTML entities are used to display reserved characters in HTML or to represent characters that are not present on a standard keyboard. For example, < is encoded as < to prevent the browser from interpreting it as the start of a tag.

Common Entities

& → & (Ampersand)
< → < (Less than)
> → > (Greater than)
" → " (Double quote)
' → ' (Single quote)
